Review the side-effects of Bictegravir, Emtricitabine, and Tenofovir Alafenamide as documented in medical literature. The term "side effects" refers to unintended effects that can occur as a result of taking the medication. In majority of the instances these side-effects are mild and easily tolerable, however sometimes they can be more severe and can be detrimental.
If the side effects are not tolerable adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication can help to manage or overcome side effects. If you have any doubts or questions, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Common: Diarrhea, nausea, headache
Gastrointestinal: Loss of appetite, stomach discomfort
Respiratory: Difficulty in breathing
Nervous system: Inability to sleep, fatigue, abnormal dreams, dizziness
Others: Kidney impairment, decreased phosphorous levels in the blood, abnormal level of liver enzymes and alteration in neutrophil counts.
• Take exactly as directed and at the same time every day.
• Refill the medications before running short, as discontinuation even for short periods results in viral resistance which becomes difficult to treat.
• Medications should not be shared with other patients without physician approval even if they have a similar infection.
