Question

Can I take Zinc with Biktarvy?

Hi, may I take Zinc with Biktarvy? Also, is taking creatine possible with ART treatment?

Thanks

Answer

Hi, how are you doing?

It is not advised to take Biktarvy and Zinc together. There is the potential for zinc to reduce how much Biktarvy is absorbed. The best way to avoid this interaction is to take them on opposite ends of the day.

E.g., if you take Biktarvy in the morning, take Zinc before you go to bed.

Yes you can take creatine while on ART. Though before starting creatine you should speak with your doctor as it is not suitable if you have existing kidney problems. Please see this previous question.
