Atripla should be taken once a day (daily). Do you mean you have <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> been taking it daily?<\/p>\n<p>It is important that you take your HIV medications within an hour either side of your designated time. If you are working shifts then Atripla is not always recommended because, as you say, you do not want to be taking it before or during a shift due to the side effects.<\/p>\n<p>If you continually change the time that you take your medication then this could lead to resistance. It could also increase side effects because there will be times when you are taking it less than 24 hours apart and so the levels of drug inside your body will be higher than the recommended dose.<\/p>\n<p>You should talk to your doctor as soon as possible to change your medications so that they fit in better with you life style.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the importance of adherence please follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/starting\/adherence\">link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been taking Atripla over 5 months now.
