I'm looking for some real-world experiences with Triumeq PD Tab (abc60/dtg5/3tc 30). My child has recently been prescribed this medication for HIV treatment, and I want to understand what to watch out for in terms of side effects. The possible side effects listed on the medication leaflet are pretty extensive and scary. I'm worried about a couple and want to hear from other parents who have been through this. If anyone has had experience with serious side effects like liver or kidney problems, or if they've managed more mild side effects, I would really appreciate your wisdom.

My kiddo was on Triumeq and had some mild side effects like headaches and trouble sleeping, but nothing serious. Just make sure to keep an eye on them and communicate with the doctor.

I hear the kidney problems can be a nightmare. Dizziness and fainting can also be scary. Make sure your kid stays hydrated and has a healthy diet to support their kidneys. If you notice any changes in urine output, get it checked.

Just remember, everyone's experience is different. Most of us need to take combinations of drugs to manage HIV anyway, so switching isn't always the end of the world. It's frustrating, sure, but it's better than ignoring serious symptoms.

It's scary looking at the list, but remember, many people don't experience any side effects. I've been lucky so far, but I check in with the doctor frequently. Keep a log of any symptoms they experience, even if they seem minor. It could make spotting the serious ones easier.

Are there any natural supplements or lifestyle changes that can help mitigate side effects? I want to do everything we can to support their health.
