Question

Can I take amoxicillin with ARVs?

Can I take augmentin(amoxicillin) with hiv prescriptions Truvada, Prezista (darunavir) and norvir (ritonavir)?

Answer

Hello,

Thanks for your question. There are no interactions expected between these ARVs and amoxicillin. It is always a good idea to check with your HIV doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines.

    Hi Trcia,

    Yes its ok to take Tribuss and Cipla Actin at the same time. Though it might be better to take one in the morning, then one in the eveing so as to not have to take two tablets together.

    Hi Deborah,

    If your man is on meds and has an undetectable viral load, the risk of transmission is close to zero. Please see here:

    If your man isn’t on medication, then you will need to use condoms.

    hi i am taking amoxicillin 3 x a day and a cocktail of efavirenz-teno-lamivudine. Is this okay? are their any known drug to drug interactions? I’m using the antibiotic because of a dental procedure to kill the infection.

    It is good that you are checking about how your medications affect each other. There are no interactions between Truvada and efavirenz and augmentin. This means that they will not affect the way they work or how well they work.

    I’m on ARVs, Truvada and efavirenz. Is it wrong for me to take strong antibiotics like augmentin?
