[Viva] triumeq and alcohol

[Kath Webster]

Maybe call Oak Tree pharmacist on Monday (if you’re still going there). That racing heart thing is a bit concerning...
All of it is a drag and I hope you adjust to new meds asap!

Big hugs Anne and all the best for 2020 to all of you Viva women !!

The other night about a week ago I had 2 beers and one drink of tequila and I was up all night and had to call in sick in the morning! I had a racing heart and felt like I was gonna die. It might just be liquor? And I’m going to try taking them in the morning. I don’t normally drink hard stuff so maybe if I avoid that it will be ok. Hopefully!

>> Hi Anne,
>> This drug is a combo so you need to look at each drug separately for its interactions. At a glance by googling I don’t see Any obvious interactions as I’m sure you checked out too. What I do know is that it takes us about 3-4 weeks for our bodies to adjust to new meds. So hang in there but also a good idea to run it past your doc just in case...  I’m on one of the drugs : Dolutegravir, and I haven’t had any problem however I don’t usually drink more than 1-2 drinks at a time- I’m a lightweight nowadays...
