Question

What’s the difference between Atenef and Atrozia?

I’ve been on meds for 3 months. First I was given Atenef, now Atrozia, am I going to be OK? Will I get side effects?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

Atenef and atrozia are generic versions of Atripla. Please see here:

They contain exactly the same medicines: tenovovir DF, emtricitabine and efavirenz. This means you should not get new side effects with any switches.

There are many other generic versions. These include Atenef, Atreslawin, Atroiza, Citenvir, Heftenam, Odimune, Rizene, Teevir, Trenvir, Tribuss, Triolar, Trivenz, Truno, Trustiva, Viraday and Vonavir.

    Hi Princess,

    Atenef and Atrozia are both generic versions of Atripla. What this means is that they contain the same compounds, please see here: https://i-base.info/guides/1561 Therefore, I don’t understand why your doctor thinks switching you to basically the same drug will make any difference to your ankles.

    Do you know what the actaully issue is with your ankles?
