timing of taking meds May 24, 2012 Dear Doc, My HIV is UD and I am fortunate to maintain normal CD4 and lab/urine results. I am taking Kivexa and Stocrin and can vary my daily intake of my meds within a 5 hr window (ie normally at 10:00pm but often the time can be around 3:00am). I am aware that one does not need to take one's meds exactly at the same time every night but is a 5 hr window still OK to remain in good health and keep the virus suppressed? Is your answer also applicable for all other once daily meds? Thank you Singapore |

 Hello and thanks for posting. One doesn't need to be precise about the exact timing of taking a once-daily medication regimen. While I'd feel a little uncomfortable with a frequent 5 hour variation in dosing of your once-daily medications (especially while initiating treatment), if your viral load is undetectable, there's probably little harm.
