Why is Tivicay prescribed? Tivicay is prescribed in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to manage HIV-1 infection in adults and in children who are at least 4 weeks old and weigh 3 kg or more. It helps reduce the level of HIV in the bloodstream, improving immune function and lowering the risk of HIV-related complications. What does it do? Tivicay contains dolutegravir, an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). It works by blocking the HIV enzyme integrase, which the virus needs to insert its genetic material into human cells. By doing this, Tivicay prevents the virus from multiplying and spreading in the body. Therefore, it helps prevent immune system damage and delays the onset of infections and illnesses commonly linked to AIDS. How should I take it? Take Tivicay exactly as prescribed by your doctor, as the appropriate dose is based on factors such as your age, weight, and prior use of HIV medications. It may be taken with or without food, depending on your preference. What if I missed a dose? If you forget to take a dose of Tivicay, take it as soon as you remember. However, if your next scheduled dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and proceed with your usual dosing routine. Do not take extra or double doses to make up for the missed dose. What are the special precautions before taking Tivicay?Before taking Tivicay, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:
- Do not take Tivicay if you're allergic to Dolutegravir or any of the ingredients in the medication.
- Make sure to disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have liver disease, especially hepatitis B or C.
- Taking antacids or supplements alongside Tivicay can reduce its effectiveness, so be sure to consult your healthcare provider about how to properly time these medications to avoid interactions.
- If you are pregnant, considering pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits of taking this medication.
- Common side effects may include:
- Headache
- Insomnia or trouble sleeping

Tivicay (Dolutegravir) can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but with important precautions depending on the timing and individual circumstances. Taking Tivicay at the time of conception or during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy may slightly increase the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
As for breastfeeding, it is generally not recommended for women living with HIV in many regions due to the possibility of transmitting the virus to the baby, even when the mother’s viral load is undetectable. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on its use to ensure safety for both you and your baby.
