Dry nose Jun 14, 2012 My antivirals make the lining of my nose extremely dry. Is there any way to mitigate this? I take Kaletra twice daily and Truvada once daily. Thanks! |

 Dry nose is common in the general population already and can be aggravated by many commonly used medications (such as antihistamines) or dry ambient air (low humidity). Use of a humidifier (at least at night) and/or a nose lubricant (such as lemon glycerine water applied with a tip or a nose lubricant such as normal saline or products like Nasogel help some patients. Dry nose has not clearly been linked to use of Kaletra + Truvada. If any reader has personal experience they would like to share please post.KH | ||||||||
