HI, Teezy!

Ilvitrim is just an antibiotic, it contains the active ingredients Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, it's used to treat many types of bacterial infections, so it isn't just given to HIV patients.

It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Learn more Ilvitrim details here.

If he starts to develop hives, that could be the sign of a dangerous reaction starting, so he should contact his doctor immediately.

Is there anything else I can help with? Any other questions or concerns?
