Anyone Else Having Trouble Getting Dolutegravir Lately?
Hi everyone,
Just checking if anyone else has noticed issues getting Dolutegravir lately.
Someone I know tried to refill their regular regimen, but the pharmacy told them it’s temporarily unavailable. They’re now trying to figure out whether to switch to another option until stock returns.
If you’ve experienced something similar, did your doctor suggest an alternative?
And how did the switch go in terms of side effects or overall stability?
Your experiences could really help others dealing with the same situation.
Thanks!
Hi
. I can tell you that "As of late 2025, there are no official reports of a nationwide shortage of dolutegravir in the United States." You can find the database to search drug shortages here: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/drugshortages/default.cfm. This does not mean that there is not some sort of local issue or shortage. I also want to share with you this page from the federal government HIV site on "Antiretroviral Medications That Can Be Switched Temporarily If Unable to Access Certain Formulations:" https://clinicalinfo.hiv.gov/en/guidelines/guidelines-caring-people-hiv-displaced-disasters/appendix-c-antiretroviral-medications. Of course, anyone should speak with their doctor about options and what would work best in an individual case. Best, Richard (Team Member)
