Hi, is it okay to drink my ARVs (TLD) with mineral spring water? I have noticed the water contains calcium, I am worried if this will interact with my ARVs.
Answer
Hi, how are you?
Yes, you can drink water while taking your ARVs. Calcium levels within mineral water are minute and will not cause an interaction with your medication. Calcium supplements would be required to be taken at a different time due to potential interaction, this would be due to the high calcium level affecting how well Dolutegravir works. Dolutegravir being one of the active ingredients within TLD.
If you have any more questions please get in touch,
