Why a combination can fail<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
REASONS A COMBINATION CAN FAIL<\/th>\nWHAT TO DO ABOUT IT<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
1) Adherence.You might have missed doses or not understood how important this was.<\/td>\nYour doctor is likely to talk about adherence first.Be as accurate as you can about this.If you did not miss doses it is important that your doctor believes you.<\/td>\nAsk questions about treatment until you are happy with the answers. Talk to your doctor, health advisors and friends.Read community leaflets and websites. Take control of your own health. Ask for help if you need it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2) Taking meds with or without food.<\/td>\nSome drugs need to be taken with food and others without food to reach the right levels.<\/td>\nCheck that you had the right information. Not following this advice might mean you were only getting only half the dose.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3) Low drug levels. You were taking your drugs on time but they were not absorbed properly.<\/td>\nSome people absorb low drug levels.This is less common with modern meds but may still be worth checking..<\/td>\nDrug levels can be checked for some drugs. These include PIs, NNRTIs, integrase inhibitors, maraviroc and T-20.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4) Drug resistance before treatment.<\/td>\nResistance might have been missed before you started. Even taking all your meds on time can\u2019t overcome drug resistance.<\/td>\nGet a new resistance test and an expert review of previous tests.This will help chose your next drugs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5) If your combination\u00a0had side effects.<\/td>\nNo matter how good your combination is on paper, if you have difficult side effects, or it is too difficult to take, then ask your doctor if there are other options.<\/td>\nUse new drugs that are still likely to be active.If side effects were a reason for missing doses, it is important that your doctor knows this.There are likely to be other meds you can use.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6) Drug interactions may have reduced the drug levels of your HIV drugs.<\/td>\nOther medications, supplements or herbs can interact with HIV drugs.This includes meds you can buy over the counter without a prescription.It can include vitamins and minerals and some recreational drugs.<\/td>\n\n
\n

Your HIV doctor and pharmacist need to know about all your drugs and supplements. This is to check for potential interactions.<\/p>\n

7) The drugs in your last combinations.<\/td>\nSome drugs are not recommended at high viral loads.<\/td>\n\n
\n

Check that the drugs in your last combination were right for your viral load.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
