PEP medication combinations Aug 17, 2010 Hello, I just started taking a PEP treatment which consists of Kaletra (2 tabs), Zerit (1 tab), and Epivir (1 tab). If I'm taking these drugs for 28days, will there be any long-term side effects? I read that Zerit has serious side effects such as facial shrinking, and causes a general body disfiguring. Will that occur if I'm only taking it for 28days? thank you |

Response from Dr. Young
 Hello and thanks for your post. Short term exposure to d4T (Zerit) is rarely associated with any appearance-related side effects, so I would not expect that 28 days of your PEP regimen will lead to any disfiguring. I hope this helps and wish you well, BY |
