What's the accurate and right dosage for Ilivitrim for my 8 weeks and 5 days baby? I am breastfeeding only and still taking my arvs twice daily. My daughter was tested at birth and she is negative, was giving nevirapine and later changed to Ilivitrim. The nurse at the clinics says to give her 2,5ml once daily. When she finished the bottle, I went for another one but they didn't have at the clinic, so I was told to go and buy from the pharmacy. now, the pharmacist says 2,5ml every 12 hours. Which dosage is correct? please advise as I am currently giving her 2,5ml every 12 hours which i started 5 days ago.

I'm Hiv positive. My child was tested after birth and she was negative and given the zidovudine syrup after 6 weeks, then given the ilvitrum. Tomorrow we're going for her 10 weeks. Yesterday at the day care they accidentally gave her a breast milk of another lady while she's formula fed. Could she be infected? Please help. I am so worried.

Hello, Plentian! How are you?

The FDA classifies Ilvitrim as an antibiotic, it is often given as a precautionary measure in such cases, to prevent infections.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
