Question

Do my skin meds interact with my HIV meds?

Hi,

I am on Truvada, atazanavirand ritonavir and would like to know if there is any possible interraction between those tablets and MSM tablets I took previously for my problematic skin?

This is the ingredient list of the MSM ones:
Methyl Sulphonyl Methane (msm), Hydroxypropyl, Cottonseed Oil, Silica, Sodium Starch Glyucolate

The MSM tablets really worked with keeping my skin clear and I would like to continue taking them if this is possible.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Answer

Thank you for your question.

There does not appear to be any interactions between the MSM and your HIV meds. However, as with all supplements and medications you should always inform your doctor that you are wanting to take them before you actually start taking them. This way your doctor can ensure you are adequately monitored.
