Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
You have been given a combination of ARVs called TLD<\/a>. As TLD contains dolutegravir<\/a> there is some risk of interaction between the supplements you have mentioned.<\/p>\n Zinc and magnesium are able to interact with dolutegravir. When taken together these supplements can prevent how much dolutegravir is absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n To avoid this you need to take your supplements either 2 hours before or 6 hours after dolutegravir. In your case this mean taking them at either 11am (or earlier) or 7pm (or later). Leaving this amount of time means your medications will not interact.<\/p>\n Josh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi I-base, I am a 42 years old man, recently found out that I am HIV positive.
