Short answer Pregnancy on this HIV combination: what to know Common questions Related questions Sources**Yes, you can take abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine during pregnancy when your HIV clinician confirms this combination is appropriate for you.**
This combination, sold as Triumeq, controls HIV and helps reduce the chance of passing HIV to your baby. Current pregnancy data are reassuring, including updated findings about dolutegravir taken around conception. Your clinician should review your HIV control, hepatitis B status, kidney and liver health, and abacavir allergy screening. If you become pregnant while taking it, contact your care team promptly and keep taking your prescribed treatment unless they advise a change. Plan your prenatal vitamin timing because iron and calcium can affect dolutegravir absorption.
Pregnancy on this HIV combination: what to know
Common questions
Can you take Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine while pregnant?
Yes, you can take abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine (Triumeq) during pregnancy with your HIV clinician's guidance. Keeping HIV controlled protects your health and reduces transmission to your baby. Current pregnancy data are reassuring, but your clinician must review your treatment history, hepatitis B status, and abacavir allergy screening. Do not stop treatment just because you become pregnant. Take iron or calcium supplements with Triumeq and food, or take Triumeq at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after those supplements.
