While Duovir N is highly effective for PEP, it is common to experience side effects such as nausea, fatigue, or mild gastrointestinal distress during the 28-day course. These are generally 'manageable' and should not be a reason to discontinue the life-saving medication. The focus now is on maintaining 100% adherence to the course and ensuring a robust follow-up testing schedule to confirm your status
Next Steps
Because PEP requires strict clinical oversight, a formal clinical consultation so do connect and consult with me for better treatment plan and advice accordingly....need to monitor your labs and supervise your transition out of the PEP course.
Health Tips
the hardest part—starting the medicine—is done. Please book a consultation so we can schedule your follow-up tests and ensure you complete the full course with minimal discomfort."
