It is actually advised to take this combination of PEP in the evening rather than in the afternoon. Taking it in the evening will let you sleep through most of the side effects and prevent it having an impact on your life.<\/p>\n<p>Are you taking it with food? As this combination contains efavirenz, you should avoid taking it with high fat foods. The high fat content means more efavirenz will be absorbed and this can lead to worsening side effects. It is okay to take it with other foods.<\/p>\n<div>Please see this link for more information about PEP:<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/factsheets\/pep-faq\">https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/factsheets\/pep-faq<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Josh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi I\u2019m taking PEP (emtricitabine tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and efavirenz) every 1430H.
