It’s always used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs as part of therapy. Your physician will determine the appropriate medication regimen and dosage. Strict adherence to prescribed instructions is crucial. The tablet can be taken with or without meals. Consistent, timely administration maximizes treatment efficacy and minimizes the development of drug resistance. Continue treatment until your doctor advises discontinuation.
Common adverse effects may include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, diarrhea, and skin rashes. While typically mild, consult your doctor if these persist. Rare but serious reactions like skin disorders or hepatic impairment may occur. Close medical supervision is maintained during initial treatment.
Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing skin conditions or liver/kidney disorders before starting therapy.
