ART Adverse Events and Interactions

When starting adolescent patients on ART, drug-drug interactions and medication side effects should be among the determining factors that help you and the patient decide which ARV drugs are appropriate. Important questions to answer before starting ARVs include:

What side effects are or would be most troubling to the patient?
Is the patient taking other medications?
Is the patient using oral contraception?
