Raltegravir, known by the brand name Isentress, is a crucial medication for children living with HIV. The 25mg chewable tablets make it easier to administer to kids, but like any medication, it comes with its own set of side effects and considerations. As a parent, I'm constantly worried about the potential side effects, especially the more severe ones. I've heard about allergic reactions and liver problems, but I'm also curious about the long-term effects and how they might impact my child's quality of life. Has anyone else gone through this with their child? Any tips on managing the side effects or just general advice would be greatly appreciated.
