What is Biktarvy?

Biktarvy is a single, once-daily tablet used to treat HIV-1 in adults or children who weigh at least 25 kg. It can either be used in people who have never taken HIV-1 medicines before or people who are replacing their current HIV-1 medicines. It should only be used after a healthcare provider verifies the individual meets certain requirements.

This drug combines bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide. It works by preventing the virus from multiplying, which helps to manage the viral load and supports the immune system. Biktarvy works by blocking the action of an enzyme that HIV uses to replicate within the body. This process helps to slow the progression of the virus and can lead to an improvement in the overall health and quality of life for people with HIV.

What are the side effects of Biktarvy?

Some of the most common side effects reported by patients taking Biktarvy include diarrhea, headache, and nausea. Other side effects may include fatigue, abnormal dreams, and dizziness. In addition, those who take Biktarvy may be at a high risk of weight gain.

Serious adverse effects could occur, such as kidney problems, liver problems, and lactic acidosis. These conditions can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Call your doctor immediately if you experience difficulty urinating, muscle pain, swelling around your midsection, upper stomach pain, unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Do not use Biktarvy if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Tell your doctor if you have liver disease (especially cirrhosis or hepatitis B) or kidney disease. Your doctor should also be informed if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur while using Biktarvy. In addition to consulting your healthcare professional, you may also report any additional side effects that worsen or persist to the FDA.

What happens if you miss a dose of Biktarvy?

If you miss a dose of Biktarvy, take it as soon as you remember unless it's close to the time of your next dose. Do not double up on doses. Consistency in taking your medication as prescribed is key for managing HIV effectively. Missing several doses could lead to viral resistance, which means Biktarvy could become less effective for treating HIV. 

What to avoid while taking Biktarvy?

Avoid taking Biktarvy two hours before or six hours after taking antacids or supplements that contain aluminum, magnesium, calcium, or iron, as they can interfere with the effectiveness of Biktarvy. Also, avoid using St. John's Wort, as it can significantly reduce the blood levels of the medication, making it less effective. Discuss all medications, supplements, and herbal products you take with your healthcare provider to prevent possible interactions.
