Advertisement Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad Buenas tardes, La situaci�n no es que "irremediablemente" vas a desarrollar lipodistrofia; o m�s concreto, en el caso de tu r�gimen espec�fico, lipoatrofia o p�rdida de grasa en la cara, las extremidades y/o las nalgas; sino que es un riesgo porque Duovir contiene AZT (zidovudina, Retrovir), una de los f�rmacos asociados m�s com�nmente a este efecto secundario. D4T (Zerit, estavudina) y ddI (didanosina, Videx) son los otros. Tomar efavirenz (Sustiva, Stocrin) antes de acostarse es, de hecho, recomendado porque suele disminuir los efectos secundarios potenciales del sistema nervioso central. Tambi�n, por la misma raz�n, se deber�a tomar efavirenz por lo menos dos horas despu�s de acabar de comer. Mucha suerte y un fuerte abrazo.
