Question
When should I take Atripla on holiday?
15 August 2012. Related: Adherence, All topics, Travel.
So I’ve been on Atripla since Jan of this year. Everything is working so far I’m undetectable and all that jazz. I traveled from West coast time to France time. I always take my pill at 11pm so I did the math and took it at 8am here (same time). Is this good or bad for the pill to work? Because I’m used to taking it before I go to bed, and now I’m taking it when I wake up. It’s only for 2 weeks. Thank you :)
Answer
Hello,
Thank-you for your question. It’s great to hear you’re doing so well on Atripla!
Taking Atripla in the morning won’t make it any less effective. You should avoid taking it with a high fat meal as this can increase the likelihood of side effects.
Some people find Atripla easier to take at night because they experience side effects when taking it during the day. If you do find that taking it in the morning causes more side effects it’s fine to change to taking it in the evening while you are away.
Because your viral load is undetectable and Atripla is quite flexible being late once is very unlikely to cause any problems.
It’s great that you are feeling strong and healthy.
It is important to take your medication as close to the same time every day as you can. If you don’t you might develop resistance and the Tribuss will not work as effectively
If you are having trouble managing this you could talk to your clinic or doctor to find a solution.
Hi I just want to know if it’s ok to take Tribuss everyday but not at the same time. Cos I work three shifts. Sometimes I miss the tym with few hours. I don’t have any side effects or illnesses I feel strong and heathy. I take it with combination of pubac and vitamins.
It is important to try and take tribuss at the same time everyday. Taking it at different times could make it less effective. This could also lead to resistance, meaning that the treatment would stop working. If you are having difficulties taking tribuss at the same time every day you should talk to your doctor to find a solution.
