Side Effects for Tivicay (dolutegravir sodium)

TIVICAY (DOLUTEGRAVIR SODIUM): Dolutegravir is used with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life. Dolutegravir belongs to a class of drugs known as integrase inhibitors. It blocks the virus from growing and infecting more cells. Dolutegravir is not a cure for HIV infection. To decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, do all of the following: (1) continue to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor, (2) always use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during all sexual activity, and (3) do not share personal items (such as needles/syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

It NEVER occurred to us my son's behavior was drug (Pulmicort) related until we took him off of it. What an amazing turnaround -- he was so bad we thought he was autisitc but now he is completely normal.

Was waiting 13 weeks to get A/F after a D/C with no luck. I was prescribed 10 days of provera and by the 5th it has come. Hopefully this is just the begining of being back on a normal cycle.

It's ok but I still feel quite deoressed and the anxiety is there but it's like there is a lid on it and it's struggling to get out so I am very aware of it.

Helped with the itching, but am concerned with the side effects of long term use. Will switch to a natural product as soon as possible.

I found that stopping Celexa was worse than starting. Some of this might have been because I was so depressed and that the side effects were tolerable in the beginning. However, when I stopped taking Celexa I felt really nauseous for over a month straight and have been having weird electric shock sensations. I think my body must be more sensitive because I had taken over three months to wean off under the supervision of my doctor and still had some bad side effects when stopping. Despite this, I would defiantly consider taking Celexa again if I need to.

Drowsiness, headaches, nosebleeds, weight gain, diarrhea, constipation, cramps, flu like symptoms, blurred vision, upset stomach, numbness, shakiness, hair loss

I got BV after having nonsurgical abortion.I've took 3 courses of this drug, it comes back all the time, I try to explain my doctor that I probably need a longer treatment, but he even doesn't want to listen to me, says 2 weeks and that's it, I think sometimes you need much longer treatment. I am going to take combination of metronidazole cream and pills for 2 months. I really want to get rid of it, and do not want to have any complications in the future, which are way to serious. Also I read that Clindamycin (Cleocin) is more effective for BV. I want to try it, too.
