Overdose of prep

Hello everybody how is it going?

I have a question. I usually take prep on demand. Last week I was on holiday and by mistake, I took a total of 10 tablets in one week. I know that we can't exceed 7 tablets per week.

How dangerous is what I did?

  1. that's a good question. I'm afraid we're not medical professionals so couldn't say exactly what the impact in your case would be. Have you reached out to the doctor who prescribed you the PrEP? Have you noticed any symptoms that concern you? - Liz (Team Member)

    1. Hello! I am doing great. Today has been a little rainy but an even brighter day will emerge tomorrow.
      I just wanted to follow up and see if you were able to reach out to a medical professional at all?

      1. Alafia (Peace) WOW, I am not a medical professional but I am so glad you found us and reached out. I think you should speak with your provider about this. Please let us know what you find out. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
