Question

Can Reydin be used as PEP?

Does Reydin work like PEP or PrEP after exposure?

Answer

Hi, how are you doing?

Yes. Reydin can be used as PEP.

Reydin is a generic version of TLD.

TLD is a first line recommendation to be used as PEP. It is not used as PrEP. PrEP is used before an exposure and is usually a 2 drug combination called Truvada.

    Hi.
    Saw my mom with reydin pills and she said they were diagnosed by a doctor when she was being checked for heart and kidney problems.
    Could she be hiding something from me?
