Another trial... Jun 9, 2006 After failure with most of the known combinations, I'm trying Kaletra+Stocrin+Epivir+Viread. The problem is, after 2 weeks I got a violent allergic reaction, with is calming down after another week and some anti-histaminics. Have you heard of this before ? |

 Thanks for your post. Allergic reactions, such as rash are not uncommon reaction to many medications, including HIV meds. Anti-histamines and medication discontinuation are typical therapeutic approaches. The more difficult question is which of the 5 different medications was responsible-- efavirenz (Stocrin) is probably the most likely to have caused the rash, though less commonly the components of Kaletra or tenofovir (Viread) can cause allergic reactions. I hope this helps, best luck, BY | ||||||||
