HIV Medication Pills Vs Injectable....
I'm currently on oral medical Odefsey, have been for years. I'm happy with it. My Infectious Disease physician is happy with it. During follow up visits he does mention the injectable Cabenuva. To me, I think I'm ok with Odefsey. My doctor says it's just as good. Aside from having an injection every so often compared to taking pills daily, what are the pros and cons of an injectable?
I'm not a fan of two drug regimens. I'm sticking to my three drugs until I have to switch.
For me personally I probably wouldn't be very good at getting to the doctor's office to get the shot. Where is on the pharmacy provides my pills to me to my doorstep I have a better chance to take them on schedule
I’m a believer in sticking with what works, until something appears to be better. The only advantage I see with a injectable is the absence of a daily regiment. Some people can not, will not, or would rather not take pills daily as prescribed. For them, injections are probably a good thing. I take Biktarvy, which is working, and I’ll stick with it, for now. This is just my opinion.
I take one medication a day. I would not change at this point.
I’m hoping for a once a week or once a month pill to come around in the near future
