Question: What is the best medication combination for me?
Answer: Combination therapy is individualized for each person. Doctors look at a person's CD4, viral load, and evaluates a person's ability to adhere to therapy before choosing. Choosing a combination therapy is a decision made by doctor and patient together. Here are a few questions to ask your doctor before deciding on the therapy that is right for you.Will there be side effects? Will the therapy work for me? How often will I have to take my medicines each day?
How many pills will I have to take? Do I need to take them with or without food? Does the meds interact with any other prescription or non-prescription meds I am taking? How will my therapy work if I am also using illegal drugs or abusing alcohol? How do I store my medicines?
