Can I take ilvitrim if I slept with a hiv positive person so as I can not be infected ## Ilvitrim contains the active ingredients Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim. It is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections. Although the therapeutic regimen of patients with HIV infection, frequently includes trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole", it is my understanding that the risk of serious side effects vs the potential benefits of the drug, can make it a difficult option for short and/or long term use. Furthermore, I do wonder what benefits, if any, they might be receiving from an antibiotic, since antibiotics in and of themselves cannot be used to prevent or cure viral infections such as HIV. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim...

I take 2mg Ativan daily, 90 mg of Cymbalta daily, 105mg Methadone daily and sometimes use Zantac for heartburn. Are there any drug interactions I should know about?

Please see this as a hypothetical question in regards to having access to just several gastro-resistant pills in an isolated setting where swallowing them as usual would be too short a course to be effective and breaking the pills would allow the stomach to destroy them. I would like to know if this is a viable way to administer a measured amount of the antibiotic once powdered. I'm asking that, if necessity required it, whether nasal inhalation, insertion under the prepuce or perhaps applied to the rectum would be effective. ## Yes, hypothetically it would be effective. However, rather than powder it yourself, in most countries you can get liquids or suppositories of antibiotics to take.
