What are the side effects of Immunadue?
Answer
i-Base still gets questions from people in South Africa about a multivitamin called Immunadue.
The answers include that this product:
- Is NOT a treatment for HIV.
- Will NOT strengthen your immune system by increasing your CD4 count.
- Will NOT reduce your viral load.
As with other multivitamins there are unlikely to have side effects – but also do not have proven health benefits if you already eat a health balanced diet.
Hello Akhona and thanks for getting in touch.
That largely depends on which ARVs you take and what exactly is included in immunadue.
We generally do not recommend supplements to people as some times they can cause toxicities (if you already have enough of the metals and vitamins included in the supplement), and are not well regulated like medication so sometimes they have different amounts of the active substance.
I would suggest checking with a pharmacist and your doctor before taking a supplement
I want to start immunadue bt I’m taking Arvs is it okay?
