Question

How much water should I take my Atenef pills with?

How many mL of water is needed at the time of drinking Atenef pills?

Answer

Hi

I don’t think this matters – a glass of water is likely to help digestion though – but a mouthful is also okay :)

    Hi Wendy,

    Its very common to feel like this when first starting Atenef. It should pass in a few weeks. If it doesn’t please talk to your doctor. When will you find out what your CD4 count is?

    Unless your partner is HIV positive and not on treatment, there is no need to take PEP. Even then, you would need to start within 48 hours and the single risk sounds low.

    Hi Nolitha,

    What you’ve described is a common side effect of Atenf. This being a generic version of Atripla. These side effects should go within a few weeks. For more info please see the following links:

    Hi Lindiwe, I don;t know what “alleged” is but taking Atenef with food might make you feel more dizzy. The meds will still be working though.
