Question

Is it safe to take Aluvia, lamivudine and zidovudine when you’re pregnant?

Hi I’m am currently taking Aluvia 200mg/50mg and Lamivudine and Zidovudine 150/300. I suspect that I am pregnant. Should I be worried about my treatment possibly harming my baby? Is it safe to carry on with the pregnancy?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

The ARVs that you are taking are safe to take whilst pregnant. Therefore, you do not need to worry about your combination.

    Hi Andisiwe, congratulations on your pregnancy. Yes it is safe to continue taking your medications. Being on treatment is the best way to keep both you and baby healthy. There is no risk to baby for you to continue taking your treatment.
