Hi there, what are the side effects of Reydin and are there any ARVs that don’t have side effects?
My doctor gave me Reydin and I was drinking it at night at first. My gums started bleeding and after that I had trouble concentrating. I also forget very easily. It is like I’m loosing my mind, what could be the problem?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Reydin is a generic version of TLD. This link is to a previous question about all TLD side effects.
Most ARVs have some side effects but only for some people. Many people don’t get side effects. Sometimes you might need to try different meds if you have difficulty with one.
Reydin does not cause bleeding gums. Have you mentioned this symptom to a doctor?
How are you sleeping at night? Reydin is often best tolerated when taken during the morning. It can cause problems sleeping. If this is the case it would explain why you are having trouble concentrating.
If you have any further questions do get in touch,

Hi Thembeka thanks. TLD (Reydin) is generally a much better med than your previous combination. Without more details about your results though it is difficult to comment. How high is your recent viral load in case this is just a blip? What are the results of your liver tests? If your viral load was undetectable before, you can always go back to that combination.
Hi
I’ve just changed from Aluvia and Truvada to Reydin suddenly my viral load is rising and problem is detected to my liver
Hello Tahsin and thanks for getting in touch.
Are you on Reydin or some other ARV?
Weight loss and pimples are not among the common side effects of Reydin.
If however you have noticed this is something only happening to you since you started Reyding, please discuss with your doctor.
They might be able to do tests and/or prescribe medication to help you manage it.
Most side effects should subside after the first couple of months you switch to a new medication.

Hi Annah, your CD4 and viral load results are very good. I am sorry I can’t comment on swollen lips as this isn’t a side feect. Please ask your doctor about this.

Hello Anelisiwe and thank you for the question.
I am not aware of such side effects with Reydin but I would suggest taking it with food.
If you still have the same symptoms please inform your doctor – they might need to run some tests.

I’m taking Reydin and after taking it I feel nausea and have a lot of saliva. Could it be the side effect?
Hi Anna, I wondered what time you take your meds? It is often better to take in the morning. It is okay to take with or without food, but taking meds with food sometimes reduces side effects.
