Q and A

Question

I took my morning medication at night…

What happens if you take your morning medication at night instead of your sleeping medication?

Answer

Hi, how are you doing?

What is the name of the medication you are taking? Is this HIV medication?

Taking your medication at the wrong time is unlikely to cause any problems and is a common mistake.

You can continue taking your medication at the normal time. You should not skip your next morning dose.

    Hi im also taking truvada as PEP and its my new regimen as I have been switched to take regimens and my usual time to take the medication is at 7:40PM in the evening, can I take it at the morning afterwards as my healthcare provide said it for me to monitor its side effects? Also is it safe to take at night?

    Hi Ds, yes you can. You can do what you have described. It is safe and effective to move the time of treatment how you have described.
