I am taking atroiza the fixed dose ARV combination in South Africa so I want to know if it does not have any drug interaction with TB medication?
Answer
Hello,
Atroiza is a once daily combination pill which contains three drugs -efavirenz, emtricibatine and tenofovir. This combination is made by several drug companies and is also called Tribuss, Trustiva, Odimune. These are all generic versions of Atripla.
This combination can have an interaction with some TB medications that may require a dose adjustment. If Atroiza is co-administered with rifampicin to patients weighing 50 kg or more, an additional 200 mg/day (800 mg total) of efavirenz may be considered. It is important to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist as this will vary across individuals.

Hi Ziber,
If you could tell me what meds you’re taking, I’ll be able to tell you how you should take them.

Hi Jeeje,
Yes, this could be a side effect of the atrozia. However, it could also be something else. Therefore, I would advise that you speak to a doctor about the issues with your feet.
hi,i have started atroiza 9 days ago,since then I wake up in the middle of the night, my mouth is always dry and my feet are numb I cant walk properly could that be the side effects?
Hi sbusi,
Having problems with sleep is a common side effect when beginning atrozia. What time are you taking them? And when is your last meal? With regards to the other side effects, my advice would be to talk to your doctor about this.

its a month now , i have started drinking M 171 .. i want to know that i am still going to change to another pills?
If you have no reason to take treatment than you would not get benefit from the medicines. You might just get side effects.
