Can I Take 'atripla' If Trying To Get Pregnant?

Hi Doc,

I 'm currently on Atripla nad have been taking it for the past 3 months. 3 months ago I was undetected and I now want to have a baby. My doctor advise to continue the Atripla until I'm pregnant then we can change to something else. He has also given me the Folic acids in the meantime. Will this affect my baby?

Hi, I think you can plan your pregnancy after 3 months of completing treatment as it is not advisable to use during pregnancy and can harm the baby. Discuss with your doctor. Hope I have answered your question.
