Though not studied, it is thought that Novatrim can increase how much Acriptega is absorbed in the body. Although if your Novatrim is in a liquid form it has shown to do the reverse and reduce how much Acriptega is absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n<p>This is a link to the table that explains the interaction:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiv-druginteractions.org\/downloads\/ajd45jg-4er5-67oy-ur43-009ert.pdf?interaction_ids%5B%5D=81808&amp;interaction_ids%5B%5D=100261\">https:\/\/www.hiv-druginteractions.org\/downloads\/ajd45jg-4er5-67oy-ur43-009ert.pdf?interaction_ids%5B%5D=81808&amp;interaction_ids%5B%5D=100261<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you have already been taking your medication in the evening, between the 3 it makes the most sense to keep Acriptega at this time.
