Switched to Dovato — experiencing some GI effects

[757pozzybear]

So I asked my HIV doc if I could switch from Biktarvy to Dovato, and I started it last week. However, I started having the runs the past few days. Will it ever stop? I do appreciate having less brain fog than when I was on Biktarvy.

Thanks @757pozzybear as I am contemplating switching from Biktarvy to Dovato myself.  I think I need my next labs, and potentially the ones following before I can decide.  

Typically GI symptoms clear up within the first couple of weeks, sometimes days.  Adding fiber, and maybe something like Activia for a couple of days will help too.

I've been on dovato for about 8 years (in a trial to start with) and I've found it much better than my previous combo - it certainly plays better with my other medications and if anything my GI problems are better with it.
