Expanding waist
Sep 9, 2012

I have been positive for 10 years. When I started meds 5 years ago I began my regimen with atripla. A year ago my doctor and I decided to switch my medication to Complera due to gastrointestinal issues. During ts past year I developed Polymyositis. In addition I developed lipodystrophty my weight is the same however my waist has expanded from 34 inches to 38 inches. Due to this issue my doctor has also recommended Egrifta. Would it be okay for me to also take L carnitine with my current medications? Thanks

Response from Dr. Holodniy

In general, there shouldn't be a problem with taking that supplement.
