Selenium
Jan 26, 2009

Greetings!

Doc BY,

I am already on ARV I would like to ask if SELENIUM (I take selenium daily) wont interact with my meds?

Thank you

Response from Dr. Young

Hello and thanks for your post.

There's no obvious drug-drug interactions between selenium supplements and HIV medications.

While one study suggests some benefit for selenium in treatment naive persons, I don't think that this small benefit has much significance once your receiving ARVs (as you are).

Be well, BY
