Question
Can marijuana interact with PEP?
29 June 2022. Related: All topics, Drug interactions, PEP/PEPSE.
I am currently taking dolutegravir/lamivudine/tenofovir as PEP and I wanted to check if it has any interactions with marijuana?
I can’t seem to find anything online so I wanted to know if smoking marijuana while taking it will impact the effectiveness of the PEP.
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
There is no interaction between your combination of PEP and marijuana.
Your course of PEP will remain as effective as it would be if you did not smoke marijuana.

Hi Janette, is this question in respect to HIV?
Can you take cannibis and Pantoprasool together and what are the effects on cancer?
Hi Jason, what medication did you use for PEP? If it was TLD (https://i-base.info/guides/14970) there is no interaction between PEP and albendazole. They will not effect how well the other works.
I took albendazole 400mg one time syrup while on pep, will there be an interaction there? Will it affect one or the other and make it ineffective?
