It is very important to have a calorie intake of at least 390-550 calories with Eviplera. If you take Eviplera on an empty stomach this can mean you absorb 40% less of one of the three drugs in this pill (called rilpivirine).<\/p>\n<p>This link will take you to examples of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uhb.nhs.uk\/Downloads\/pdf\/PiDietaryRequirementsOfEviplera.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">appropriate meals to take with Eviplera.<\/a> A smoothie or protein shake is not sufficient- but there are several breakfast options on that page.<\/p>\n<p>There is no need to avoid alcohol when taking Eviplera (provided that this doesn&#8217;t affect your adherence). For more info please see<a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/5912\"> our meds page.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m starting eviplera tomorrow and my doctor says I need to take it with a &#8220;big&#8221; meal. I would prefer to take it in the morning so that it is out of the way but normally have a smoothie for breakfast. Is this enough? He says calorie intake is vital. Can you pls give examples of what is sufficient to take with my tablets? <\/p>\n<p>Any other special care I need to take? Can I drink alcohol?
