Question

How long do Odimune side effects last?

I just started Odimune. How long do the side effects last?

Answer

Hi,

Odimune is a generic version of Atripla and contains three drugs: efavirenz, tenofovir and 3TC.

This previous question discusses side effects related to this combination. 

Please look there, and let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hi Zingie,
    If you’re tired during the day it could be because you’re not sleeping well at night. Do you take Odimune before bed? This is recommended. But if you are taking it with a high fat meal before bed this can make the side effects stronger – and so you don’t sleep well. You can read more about Odimune side effects here. If side effect continues, ask your doctor about alternative treatment to switch to.

    Hi Adela,

    Diarrhea when first stating some meds is common. Your doctor or your pharmacist should be able to give you something for it.

    Hi Nomcebo,

    The side effects should usually only last for a few weeks. If you are feeling like this due to the meds, then you may need to change. This is something that you’ll need to discuss with your doctor.
