Can Genvoya Lead To A Delay In The Elimination Of Tamsulosin?

default
Posted on Mon, 4 Sep 2023
Question: I am HIV+, and under my doctor's recommendation, have switched from a combination of Kaletra and Truvada to one Genvoya tablet daily. Made the change about 3 months ago. I was also taking Tamsulosin and Pravastatin and developed a facial rash and felt poorly. Have stopped the Tam. after I researched drug interactions and the Prav. The facial rash started improving in 2 4 hours. Wondering if the Genvoya might NOT be the rash either. Thinking of returning to Kaletra and truvada combo. Any thoughts? Thnak you. XXXXXXX
