Should Atripla Be Taken Empty Stomach?
I have been on Atripla for nearly 2 years for hiv, I started my meds early as I wanted to. The doctor told me I need to take my tablet with food and I have been taking it after my main meal in the evening, I have now read online that this medication should be took on an empty stomach, what should I do ? Do I need to change how I take my medication ? I have no side affects apart from lack of energy

Hello,
Better to take it without food but if you are having stomach pain you can take it with food.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
