Question
Will my arthritis medicines affect Atroiza?

If I am on plasmoquine, prednisone and Altosec for rheumatoid arthritis. Will Atrozia affect these medications?
Answer
Thanks for your email.
Atroiza is a generic version of Atripla.
There are no interactions expected with Altosec or Plasmoquine and Atroiza, but interactions could occur with prednisone.
Prednisone levels absorbed in the body can be up to 40% lower when taken together with efavirenz (one of the drugs in Atroiza). It’s important to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist. They may need to monitor your drug levels or use a different drug to deal with this interaction.
