Hi,

It is usually recommended that you take Odimune at night. This has to do with side effects. This is because you will be sleeping when drug levels are highest. As a result you would be less likely to experience side effects. So taking it in the morning will not affect the way Odimune works. However you mare likely to experience more side effects. Very few people manage to take it during the day without unpleasant side effects.

It is also recommended that you take Odimune either on an empty stomach or with a low fat meal. This is because a high fat meal can increase the levels of efavirenz. Efavirenz is one of the medications in Odimune. When it’s level’s are increased so are it’s side effects. It will still work if you take it with a high fat meal but you might experience more, or worse side effects.
