Can I take supplements with Biktarvy?

Hello, thanks for all your great work.
I wanted to ask if I can take Biktarvy together with Neem supplements, as well as Quercitin? As far as I’ve read there’s no contradiction. Also what about Garlic supplements (Allicin)?
Thank you!
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Yes you can take the supplements you have mentioned.
None of these will interact with Biktarvy. It is safe to take them together.

Hi Vik, this supplement contains some minerals that can reduce how much Biktarvy is absorbed by the body.
To prevent this interaction it is best to take Triphala and Biktarvy at opposite ends of the day. This was there is a long enough period between the two to prevent any interaction.
Can I also take Triphala (Indian Ayurvedic) herbal supplement with Biktarvy? thanks.
