Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
Yes. It is advised to take co-trimoxazole at the same time each day.<\/p>\n
Co-trimoxazole is not being used to treat an infection. While you have a low CD4 count it is used to prevent other infections as your immune system recovers.<\/p>\n
This means that not adhering can risk potential infections becoming resistant to co-trimoxazole but this doesn’t mean the treatment would not work for other infections. But it would require a different antibiotic for the immediate infection.<\/p>\n
For this reason it is best to take it at the same time each day. When do you take your ARVs? Would you be able to take all your meds at the same time to avoid being late?<\/p>\n

Hello.
\nI’m newly diagnosed 3 weeks ago.
\nMy CD4 is 165 and doctor gave me Cotrimoxazole. My doctor said to take it after meal. (2 tablets of 400mg once).<\/p>\n
My question is, do I have to take Cotrimoxazole at the same time like ARVs?
\nIf yes, can it be resistance if I take it 1 hour late or earlier like ARVs?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adherence","category-all-topics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21366"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21367,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21366\/revisions\/21367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
