Is Luvigen (TLD) PEP?

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.

Josh.

    After exposure I’ve taken TLD for 52 days

    Can it work as prep?

    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.
