Hi,<\/p>\n
Thank-you for your question.<\/p>\n
Tribuss is a generic combination treatment which contains three HIV drugs. These are efavirenz, FTC and tenofovir. In the UK, this combination in a single pill is called Atripla<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tribuss is usually recommended to be taken on an empty stomach is to reduce side effects. This is up to 60% more efavirenz is absorbed if it is taken with a high fat meal.<\/p>\n This would mean there is more efavirenz than you need and you may be more likely to get side effects. Side effects from efavirenz include dizziness, mood changes and sleep disturbance. Please follow this link for more information about efavirenz side effects.<\/a><\/p>\n However, the increased levels of efavirenz are connected to a high fat meal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you prefer to take Tribuss with some food this is fine, just not with fatty foods.<\/p>\n Please let me know if you have any more questions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi!
