Based on my research Citenvir tablets contain 600mgs of Efavirenz + 200mgs of Emtricitabine + 300mgs of Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

This combination of meds is used to treat HIV infection. Apparently it works by reducing the amount of HIV in your blood stream.

For product verification, the manufacturer of this med is listed as Novagen Pharma

As far as side effects are concerned, you can learn more about this drug on the page for Citenvir Details. Just scroll down to the section on 'Side effects' for a list of common symptoms.

@Angelface - Before starting any new medication, you should probably discuss its safety with your doctor first. Taking Efavirenz in and of itself is said to cause liver problems in some individuals. However you'd be significantly increasing your risk of that by taking other medications (like Purbac) that also heavily impact the liver; namely the Sulfamethoxazole in it.

I hope this bit of info helps!

Hi,after being on Citenvir for ten days,I developed small sores on the inside of my private parts,that are also itchy and uncomfortable especially at night,causing sensitivity when I urinate.Are these caused by the drug,and are they going to pass or does it mean I should stop using or change it?

@lala (post #13),

You should talk with your doctor regarding your concerns about continuing follow up visits, since the medication seems to be working so well for you. I think they only recommend follow ups to periodically see how your body responds to the medication more so than anything.

@Mfundo (post #12),

All three of the active ingredients in Citenvir (efavirenz + emtricitabine + tenofovir) list "rashes" as a general side effect on the site for the US National Library of Medicine. So you may have to discuss this with your doctor if the symptoms have become too bothersome or severe. He/she may recommend trying something else instead if the rash doesn't go away on its own overtime.

@Noni (post #11),

The warning label for this medication notes that you should not become pregnant while taking Citenvir, as the precautions suggest that Efavirenz (one of the main ingredients in Citenvir) may harm the fetus.

Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a699004.html

I hope this helps to answer all your questions!

Since I posted I didn't receive any answers and the side effects are still the same. I tried speaking to my Dr about this but its the same, so I take Citenvir then an hour later take Novavit but it doesn't help. Somnetimes I don't take Novavit at all. I hope I'm not doing any damage.
