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.

You can also check for interactions at HIV-Druginteractions.org

    Sir / Madam I have used PEP within 45 hours, is it the right time? and will it really be effective? after the dose is over will I recover if I focus on what things for these 28 days? Please help me. I use dolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate,

    Hi Khanyisile, Actin (cyproheptadine) is an antihistamine. There are no interactions with the HIV meds in Acriptega.

    Hello Chido and thanks for the question,

    I can’t answer without knowing what ARVs you are on, I am afraid.

    Cipla actin is an antihistamine tablet taken for allergies usually.

    Cipla actin is not available in the UK so the information I can provide you with is limited.

    If this is the medication you want to use it’s better to ask a doctor at your clinic or any pharmacist.

    Hi Mpho, amoxicillin is an antibiotic that is used for lots of reasons. It can be taken by people whether or not they are living with HIV. If you are prescribed both meds, then both meds will be needed.
