Reyataz for HIV Infection Reviews
"I have been on this drug for five years and have had no problems. Since being on it, my cholesterol levels have drastically reduced, although I am on lipid lowering drugs as well. It is certainly better than Kaletra"
"I can't remember how long ago it was that I began taking this drug, but it has been at least 15 years. It has, in combination with other medications, been very affective in controlling my infection. But it has given me lypohypertrophy and gynecomastia. (Fat deposits in my abdomen and male breast growth.) I'm eager to find an alternative that my insurance will cover, which might be difficult, as I am "treatment experienced"."
"I've been taking Reyataz since 2005 as the PI in my 3 drug protocol. It very quickly got me to undetectable status with absolutely no discernible side effects. Recently, Bristol Myers Squib stopped making Reyataz but Teva Pharmaceuticals now makes the generic of Atazanavir."
"I started taking Reyataz (400mg) with Epzicom in 2006, and it quickly reduced my viral load to undetectable where it has remained to this day. I haven't noticed any discernible side effects, however, if I consume alcohol within two hours of taking Reyataz, I find the effects of alcohol to be exaggerated. Recently, my insurance plan stopped covering Reyataz, but I will change insurance plans before I change my HIV drugs."
