Dec 19, 2007

i am losing weight and i have been on HAART(Triomune 40) for 2 years. my breasts keep getting bigger and am not gaining any weight. i follow all the rules but. i want to have my hips back. What should id o to maintain my weight and get my figure back.are there alternate drugs apart from Triomune.im from Malawi please suggest any drugs that i can manage to find easily here

Response from Dr. Henry

The stavudine in Triomune can sometimes aggravate fat loss and sometimes fat gain in areas that cosmetically and functionally are upsetting to patients. If available a switch off the Triomune to a regimen using a non-thymidine nucleoside (such as tenofovir or abacavir) can stabilize and sometimes reverse the fat distribution problem. Exercise and diet can help in some patients. KH
