Is Luvigen a medication used for PEP?
Answer
Hi, how are you?
Yes Luvigen is PEP. It is a generic form of TLD.
WHO guidelines recommend TLD combinations to be used as first line. As Luvigen is a generic form of TLD, it can also be used in the management of HIV.
If you have another question, do ask.

Hi Emeka, please see this link on PEP that answers your Q. PEP is only recommended for 30 days:

After exposure I’ve taken TLD for 52 days
Can it work as prep?
Hi Dimakatso, a list of the common side effects of TLD can be found here: https://i-base.info/qa/18961
What I want to are the side effects
Hi Anonymous, yes Luvigen will work if you take it at night. Luvigen is usually recommended to be taken in the morning because it can cause problems sleeping. Aside from this it is completely fine to take it in the evening if you don’t experience this side effect.
Will Luvigen work if I take it at night?
