Question
Will clotrimazole affect my treatment?
14 August 2008. Related: All topics, Drug interactions.
I’ve just started taking efavirenz and Truvada. A week into taking my treatment, I noticed that I had thrush, because it is something I have suffered with before on many occations. I visited my local GUM clinic and was given clotrimazole cream and a vaginal pessary. I went home and used them without thinking if they would effect my treatment.
Please help.
Answer
There are no known drug interactions between the ARVs and the antifungal cream clotrimazole. So, no worries. Take care!
Hi Olarewaju, you can take these meds at a different time to your HIV mends if his is better for you. they don’t need to be taken together.
Pls will there be any effect if I don’t take my ARV drug with clomatrizone tablet
Hi Eric, no there are no interactions between TLD and clotrimazole. It is safe to take them together.
There any negative effect if I take PEP ( TLD) with clotrimazole tabs together?
