Delstrigo (doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) includes Pifeltro (doravirine) in a three-drug single-tablet regimen.

Nevertheless, researchers advise careful kidney monitoring when pairing the medications.

A large ongoing study in Botswana has found that about 1 in 150 babies exposed to Tivicay at conception developed such birth defects.

In a recent study, Edurant was better tolerated and less toxic and led to fewer discontinuations.

Various other studies have indeed found such a link.

This finding came from a larger report indicating that U.S. residents are increasingly taking drugs linked to such symptoms.

That’s compared with HIV-negative men.

Two men claim they developed bone and kidney problems after taking TDF. A related class action lawsuit has also been filed.

A new analysis finds that Gilead Sciences’ updated version of its key antiretroviral tenofovir may not actually offer any safety benefits.

The tablet contains the same combo as Symfi Lo (efavirenz/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) but with a higher dose of efavirenz.

This finding comes from an analysis of the global START study, which proved in 2015 that starting HIV treatment early is best.

Symfi Lo contains efavirenz, lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF); Cimduo contains TDF and lamivudine.

Investigators behind the recent study that raised this concern suggest not combining the two until more research can be done.

The new drug application is for doravirine as both an individual tablet and part of a combination tablet.

But that is not necessarily the case for those with preexisting mental health problems.
