Answer
Hi
All the meds you listed include the same active drugs in the same combination.
In the UK this combination pill is called Atripla.
The different names are because this are made by different companies. It is very safe to switch between them.
I was on odimune now I’m taking volutrip can I know the cause
Hi S.D.
Please talk to your doctor about your viral load increasing dramatically. You can ask for a second test to confirm this.
Trivenz is safe and effective for treating HIV. But if your viral load is increasing it looks like it’s not working well.
You can ask what other meds you can switch to that can keep your viral load at undetectable.
Here’s the i-Base guide to changing treatment if viral load rebounds.
I am using Trivenz, but lately my viral load has increased dramatically. What is the cause and should I change to other medication.

Hi Gee,
What is the name of the medication that you’ve been given? The ingredients should be on the bottle, are you able to see what these are?
