Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n
I am sorry to hear you are suffering with oral thrush. Omega 3 is fine to take with your meds. Probiotics just contain ‘good’ bacteria and so as long as you are only on a small dose they will be fine and will help to stabilise your levels of ‘good’ bacteria once the thrush has gone. For more information please follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nystatin – I cannot find any information to suggest that this should not be used. However, nystatin does work in a similar way to amphotericin B which is filtered by the kidneys. Tenofovir, one of the drugs in Truvada, is also filtered by the kidneys and so if you are taking the two at the same time you should speak to your doctor about close monitoring of your kidney function during this time.<\/p>\n I hope you are feeling better soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello there<\/p>\n I am currently on Truvada, atazanavir and ritonavir and would like to check whether there are any interactions between those drugs and the following: Omega 3 capsules, probiotics and nystatin (given to me for oral thrush). I am taking the ARVs in the morning so wondering whether I can take the others without any interaction? If so, when is the optimum time to take them? I am asking as I have read somewhere that someone with a CD4 count of less than 200 (mine is 95 at the mo) should not take probiotics and that the nystatin doesn’t agree well with those ARVs.<\/p>\n Many thanks for your help<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-drug-interactions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3794","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\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3794\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
