Is it OK to take multivitamins (such as Perfectil) when using PrEP?

Thanks for getting in touch.

PrEP for most people involves an oral pill with two drugs: tenfovir disoproxil (TD) plus emtricitabine (3TC).

Some people use tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) plus emtricitabine (FTC).

Both versions are very safe to also use with multivitamins.

However, multivitamins haven’t been proven to help your health unless you have a vitamin deficiency.
