When and How to Take Epzicom
General considerations for when and how to take Epzicom include the following:
- Epzicom comes in tablet form. It is usually taken by mouth just once a day.
- It does not matter if you take Epzicom with or without food. If the medicine bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
- Try to take Epzicom at the same time every day to maintain an even level of the medication in your blood.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. It is very important that you closely follow your healthcare provider's instructions about taking Epzicom. Missing doses can increase the chance of the virus developing resistance to Epzicom (making it less effective).
Epzicom Dosing Information
There is only one standard dose of Epzicom, regardless of your age or weight. However, Epzicom is not usually recommended for people with liver disease or kidney disease, since the dosages of the individual components cannot be adjusted separately. For these people, it is usually recommended that the two medications in Epzicom be taken separately, so that the appropriate dosages can be achieved.
As always, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Epzicom. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are less common.
Common side effects of Epzicom include, but are not limited to:
