I am about to start atripla, and I am scared to continue taking my multi-vitamin/ multi-mineral
May 17, 2009

I am starting atripla therapy and i read that St. Johns wort is a no no. That being said, I am very active and exercise a lot. I have been taking a multi vitamin/ multi-mineral vitamin pack from produced by GNC for active men. Is it safe to continue using the vitamins and are there other ingredients and herbs that I should be on the look out for.

Response from Mr. Vergel

So far , B vitamins and minerals have not been found to interact with HIV medications, so I would not be too concerned and still take your multivitamin with Atripla. Do not take herbs or any other supplement without consulting your physician.
