What is Triumeq and what is it used for:
Triumeq is a combination medication used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. It contains three active ingredients: abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine. Abacavir and lamivudine are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) that work by blocking an enzyme needed by HIV to multiply. Dolutegravir is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) that blocks HIV from integrating its genetic material into the DNA of human cells. Triumeq is used in combination with other HIV medications and is not a cure for HIV infection.
How to take Triumeq:
Triumeq is taken orally, with or without food. The usual adult dose is one tablet once daily. It is important to take Triumeq exactly as prescribed, and not to stop or change the dosage without consulting a healthcare provider.
Possible side effects of Triumeq:
Triumeq may cause some side effects, including:
Nausea
Diarrhea
Headache
Insomnia
Dizziness

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Triumeq:
Before taking Triumeq, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease. Triumeq may interact with certain medications, including methadone and rifampin. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
