Question

Can I take Immunadue during pregnancy?

Hi
l am 29 and HIV positive, l am pregnant. Is it safe to take Immunadue during pregnancy? l am 6 months in pregnancy. What advice can you give?

Answer

Immunadue is a product from South Africa and I have never heard of anybody to have used it in the UK. So no proper experience with it and as a result I cannot advise you on its use/non-use. As a multivitamin it is likely to be similar to any other multivitamin.

Immunadue will NOT increase your CD4 count or reduce your viral load.

I checked for for published studies in HIV positive people, but failed to find any research to support a benefit.

The general rule, however, when it comes to pregnancy, is to only use medications and products after discussion with your doctor.

    Hi,

    Immunadue is just a brand of multivitamin. It will not work against your HIV or necessarily improve your symptoms. You should tell you doctor or clinic about them. They can help you work our what is causing them and how to treat them.

    Immunadue is just a make of multivitamin. It is not a treatment for HIV. Unless you are deficient in a vitamin there is generally no proven benefit from taking one.

    No it cannot help with this. If you have burning when passing urine then it is likely you have a STI or a urinary tract infections. You should go to your doctor to have a test to see what is causing these symptoms and get the necessary treatment.
