Genvoya with Multivitamin?
« on: November 19, 2017, 08:56:20 pm »
So up until about 3 weeks ago I’d take my Genvoya every day at the same time as Centrum (my multivitamin)

I read that the magnesium and calcium in a multivitamin can possibly interact with the levels of elvitegravir
http://i-base.info/guides/8928

Maybe this explains my less-than-desired test results lately.

I started taking Centrum AFTER my test results of 57 CD4 and 53 VL, and since then VL has been higher.

Needless to say I’ve separated the multivitamin and Genvoya, and now take them at least four hours apart.

Hopefully the change will reflect in my newest numbers.

Thank you so much for posting this. I will be starting my Genvoya God the week after Thanksgiving. Normally I just swallow all pills like the true pill whore that I am these days with my Clariton, my baby aspirin, my super B complex, my folic acid, my calcium D, my GNC mega men, my zinc, my l-lysine and my niacin. Oh great, now I have to do a two single swallows... won't be the first time though.  hey LeftyBowler300 what time do you do your Genvoya and what kind of food do you take it with? Any side effects? Praying for ya...
