Reyataz Takers: Drink Up

by Laura Whitehorn

Do you take the protease inhibitor (PI) Reyataz (atazanavir)? If so, be sure to chug at least eight glasses of water a day. Downing H20 helps reduce the risk of developing kidney stones, a possible side effect of the PI, according to the FDA. If you experience kidney stone symptoms—excruciating pain in the lower back, side or groin, or blood in the urine—alert your doctor right away. Gulp.

"Its been a scary number of days in the hospital -- at points I felt like I wasn't going to make it out. Good news is I have responded the to the treatment for the PCP and my breathing and overall condition have improved to the point where I can most likely go home tomorrow (4/19)."
