Question
Are muscle aches caused by TLD?
4 October 2023. Related: All topics, Side effects.
Good day,
I have been using Telatri (DLT combination) for 17 days.
For the past 10 days I have been experiencing mild muscle aches and a bit of itching in my body. I am also feeling discomfort on my chest which causes a cough four times a day or even less.
Could this be the side effects or should I be worried?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Muscle aches, itching and chest discomfort are not side effects of TLD.
The common side effects of TLD are listed here.Â
Have you spoken with your doctor about these symptoms? and have you noticed anything else e.g., fever, tiredness?
Are you taking TLD as PEP or as HIV treatment?

Hi Duni, it is really good that the aches are improving. It is very possible that these aches were caused by something other than TLD. As the aches are now improving, unless you are still concerned, you do not need to speak with a doctor about them.
The aches has changed over the past days. It got much better. In fact I just experience it once in a while and is very mild.
Hi Duni, it is great that in general your health is OK. Have the aches/pain changed anyway in the last few days? Have you noticed if it is getting better or worse?
Thank you for your response.
My health in general is OK. I am not feeling sick, no fever, no headache, no sore throat, no fatigue, no rash etc. I am only experiencing what i have mentioned but is very mild and tolerable.
Hi Duni, as these symptoms have started since taking TLD it is possibly caused by TLD. How is your health in general? and how are you feeling currently? A lot of the symptoms you have mentioned can be caused by stress/anxiety.
