Reyataz/Norvir/Truvada/Epzicom...morning or night?
      #190727 - 05/10/06 09:08 PM

I'm starting in a study, and I just got my meds today. I'll be on Reyataz boosted with Norvir, and either Epzicom or Truvada (I won't know which).

Does anyone know if there are any advantages to taking these meds in the morning as opposed to the evening (or vice versa)? Thanks! :-)

I was just on the website

You can use that and see what foods and such counteract with them and go here:

I started Reyataz, Norvir, and Epzicom a week ago. I asked my doc the best time of day and he said it doesn't matter as long as I take them religiously, every day, and the Reyataz should be taken with food. I take mine at suppertime, only because I may hurry a little in the morning and occasionally skip breakfast and thereby not have the food, or even forget to take them if I tie them to that meal. Supper I never forget or skip.

By the way, so far I've experienced only the mildest side effects, a couple of which are not unpleasant. Assuming I don't develop the hypersensitivity react to the Abacavir in the Epzicom, I'm pretty happy with regimen so far.
