Drug Interactions

Before taking TRUVADA and while on TRUVADA, it is important to discuss all prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements you are taking or plan to take with your healthcare provider.

  • Do not take TRUVADA if you are already taking ATRIPLA® (efavirenz 600 mg/emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir DF 300 mg), VIREAD® (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [DF]), EMTRIVA® (emtricitabine), Combivir® (lamivudine/zidovudine), Epivir® or Epivir-HBV® (lamivudine), Epzicom® (abacavir sulfate/lamivudine), or Trizivir® (abacavir sulfate/lamivudine/zidovudine) because these medicines contain the same or similar active ingredients.
  • Do not take TRUVADA with HEPSERA® (adefovir dipivoxil).

Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take:

  • Videx® or Videx EC® (didanosine). Tenofovir DF (a component of TRUVADA) may increase the amount of Videx in your blood. You may need to be followed more carefully if you are taking TRUVADA and Videx together. Also, the dose of didanosine may need to be reduced.
  • Reyataz® (atazanavir sulfate) or Kaletra® (lopinavir/ritonavir). These medicines may increase the amount of tenofovir DF (a component of TRUVADA) in your blood, which could result in more side effects. You may need to be followed more carefully if you are taking TRUVADA and Reyataz or Kaletra together. TRUVADA may decrease the amount of Reyataz in your blood. If you are taking TRUVADA and Reyataz together, you should also be taking Norvir® (ritonavir).

Keep a complete list of all the medicines that you take. Make a new list when medicines are added or stopped. Give copies of this list to all of your healthcare providers and pharmacist every time you visit your healthcare provider or fill a prescription.
