Hi, i’ve been taking treatment 5 months. Now they’ve changed my Eflanten and are giving me Odimune. Is it safe? will there be complications? Is it the same stuff?
Answer
Hi,
Both of these pills contain three different HIV medications. One of the meds in Eflaten has been swapped from the ones in Odimune. These medications (3TC and FTC) are very similar and fight HIV in the same way.
Did you change because you had resistance? If this is the case you should talk to your clinic. If you have resistance to one you might have resistance to the other.
If you didn’t change because of resistance this shouldn’t affect your treatment.

Ive been receiving eflaten at the doctors,there was nothing wrong with me,no resistance or side effects.Then i was given Odimune. I’m just scared that Odimune will give me complications!
