Allegic reaction May 5, 2006 I have been taking trizivir for many year.When I notice fat loss from my arms and leg my dodotor switch me to Norvir, Reyataz, and Epzicom. In two weeks I had an allergic reaction(hives) and had to stop the new meds. If trizivir has the same meds as epzicom minus azt why did I have an allegic reaction? |

 Your reaction would be unlikely due to the Epzicom since it is the same as Trizivir minus the AZT. Rashes are seen with protease inhibitors including Reyataz and/or Norvir though usually you can treat through the rash. Other conditions can also cause a rash (or other drug interactions triggered by the protease inhibitors depending which other medications you are on). A review by your HIV specialist and pharmacist is important to try and narrow down the possibilities so you will have a better idea how to preceed. KH | ||||||||
