I've been on Prezista 100mg/ml Suspension for a few months now, and I've had a mix of experiences. I'm curious to hear from others who are taking this medication. How has it been for you? Have you experienced any of the side effects mentioned? I've noticed some changes in my body fat distribution, and it's been a bit concerning. I've also had some mild stomach issues, but nothing too severe. I'm just trying to manage everything as best as I can. If anyone has any tips or advice on coping with these side effects, I'd really appreciate it!

Your body fat distribution can change with many HIV medications, not just Prezista. It's a common side effect. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help mitigate some of these changes.

I've been on Prezista for over a year now, and I've had similar issues with body fat changes. It's definitely something you should bring up with your doctor. Make sure you're also getting regular blood tests to monitor your liver function, as Prezista has been known to affect some people's livers.

I had a severe allergic reaction when I first started Prezista. It was terrifying—rash, swelling, the works. I had to get immediate medical help.

I've had to switch to a different medication due to liver problems, so keep an eye out for those symptoms. You should really get regular checkups.

Here are the severe flu like symptoms everyone should be aware of. This thread is a great reference but I felt Prezista was really making my upset stomach and diarrhea worse than my HIV.

I’ve had a great run on Prezista, no side effects yet. Just make sure to always take it with ritonavir or cobicistat as directed.

I've had some muscle and joint pain, but it's manageable. Just make sure to stay hydrated and get regular rest.
