Proper vitamin
Jun 7, 2003
Dear Doc,
I tested positive in December of 2002, and I started treatment in May of 2003. I am taking Sustiva and Combivir. I have had little to no side effects. I am currently taking a B complex time released vitamim. Is that a good vitamin for me to be taking or do you have another recommendation. I am 27yrs old and am otherwise in good health, mentally and physically. I want to be taking something to, of course, boost my immune system and help to counter effect any depletion to my system due to the medication.
Thank you
JJH

Response from Mr. Vergel
Without knowing your medications and your lipids, it is hard to tell. You may want to take vitamin E (400 iu/day), selenium (200 micrograms/day), make sure the B vitamins are at least at 50 mg-100 mg/day each (except B-12 which should be 1000 micrograms/day), alpha lipoic acid at 100 mg/day , and a multimineral should be plenty.
