hi I recently started arvs atrioza I want to know if I can still buy over the counter tablets for treating headaches or flu like I used to before or I should consult the doctor first if I do take over the counter tablets like aspirin will they clash with my arvs?

Thanks for getting in touch.

Advice from the Liverpool HIV interaction database- indicates that there is no drug interaction  expected when taking atrioza and aspirin. Please see:

Therefore, if you wish to take asprin when you have a headache, then you can.

If you wish to take other medications, then either ask your doctor, or get in touch with us.

    Hi Neo.

    When someone is new to Tribuss its common to have headaches and to feel dizzy. These are side effects that usually go within a few weeks. If they don’t, please see your doctor. Yes you can take headache tablets.

    Hi Bonie, the drug-drug interaction resource at Liverpool University says that there “might” be an interaction between warfarin and the HIV drug efavirenz (one of the three drugs in Atroiza).

    The site recommends that your doctor needs to monitor you for the warfarin dose to check this.

    See:

    re are no drug interactions between warfarin and HIV meds in Atroiza.
