Q and A

Question

Can you take Telatri when pregnant?

I’m taking an ARV called Telatri. Will this have any impact on my ability to get pregnant? Is it OK to take if I do fall pregnant?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

Telatri is a modern combination of three generic HIV drugs in a single pill. It contains dolutegravir, tenofovir (TD) and lamivudine (3TC).

ARVs will not affect your fertility. If you become pregnant it’s OK to take Telatri, as they will help protect your baby against HIV.

    Hi Thembile, Telatri has no effect on your fertility. As Telatri treats HIV and keeps you healthy, it will help to maintain your fertility. How long have you been trying?

    Hi Thando, there is no interaction between Telatri and the Depo injection. This means they will both still work. Are you taking Telatri to prevent you becoming pregnant?

    Hi Zinhle, congratulations on your pregnancy. HIV meds are very safe to take through pregnancy. This includes Telatri. This is a generic version of generic versions of tenofovir DF (TD), lamivudine (3TC) and dolutegravir coformulated into a single pill (TLD).

    Hi Wifey, Telatri is a very good and widely used HIV medicine. It is very safe to breastfeed while on this medicine. Best wishes for your new baby :)
