Hi
I started with Atripla, then received Odimune and now I have been given Tribuss from my provider.
I have never had side effects. How safe is it for me to take Tribuss?
I’m afraid it might change how I look. Is it the same as the two I have already been taking?
Answer
Hi
Tribuss and Odimune are generic versions of the fixed dose combination pill Atripla. These drugs have different names because they are made by different manufacturers.
Each version contains the same doses of three drugs. These are tenofovir, FTC and efavirenz.
There are no safety concerns from switching from one version to another.
Although some HIV meds have been linked to body shape changes, this is not commonly reported for any of these drugs. One exception, generally rare, is that efavirenz has been linked to weight gain in breast tissue – also called gynaecomastia (GYE-na-co-MAS-tee-ah).

Hi Snami,
Atrozia and Odimune are both generic versions of Atripla. What this means is that they contain the same compounds. It’s common to switch between the generic versions. Please see here: http://i-base.info/guides/1561

Hi Thulan,
Tribuss and Atroiza are generic versions of Atripla. So the tablets contain the same active meds. But they are from different manufacturers.
There are no safety concerns from switching from one to the other.
