Answer
Hi
All the meds you listed include the same active drugs in the same combination.
In the UK this combination pill is called Atripla.
The different names are because this are made by different companies. It is very safe to switch between them.
hi im tsholo is it safe drink antenef if im pregnant. .im 16 weeks
Hi Mara, please contact your doctor if this continues. Some people find it helps to take meds with a little food. This is okay with Odimune, but the food cannot contain high fat. Also, Odimune is much better to be taken just before you go to sleep. Please see question 3 at this link:

Hi Ruth, Atroiza and Atenef are the same meds, just made by a different company.Changing between one and the other will not cause any harm.

Hi I have started dating this new guy and I’ve noticed his taking Trivenz but has not told me about his status and I happen to be postive myself and on Tribuss, I’ve been thinking on how to tell him about my status without making him run but also open up to me? I truly love him and don’t want to lose him.
Hi Nthaby, this is a common side effect of efavirenz and usually gets easier after the first weeks. If not you can change. This link has more information including tips for reducing the side effects.

Hi dk – thanks – I am not sure why you have diarrhoea – it might just be a coincidence when the med s were changes. Both meds contain the same drugs, so it is worth giving is a week or two to see if this gets better. Please tell your doctor about this and see if you can get something to helpf the diarrhoea.
