Oatmeal and absorption Apr 16, 2009 I just started a regimin of atazanavir/ritonovir with truvada. My question: Can taking these (or any) medications with a big bowl of oatmeal reduce their absorption? I have read that the soluble fiber in oatmeal prevents a certain amount of fat absorption in the gut - Could it have the same effect on medications, particularly on those medications that require dietary fat to be properly absorbed? |

 Hello and thanks for your post. Yes, it's important to take your Reyataz (atazanavir) with meals; fortunately, I'm not aware of any reason why oatmeal should interfere with absorption of your HIV medications. BY | |||||||||
