Dolutegravir

• Do not stop taking your medication without checking with your doctor.
• You may take this medication with or without food.
• This medication should be taken 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking antacids, oral iron, calcium, magnesium supplements and/or multivitamins.
• In those who have difficulty swallowing the tablet whole, the tablet may be split or crushed and added to a small amount of semi-solid food or liquid, and consumed immediately.

​Missing doses may make Dolutegravir less effective and make the virus resistant to Dolutegravir. This could also make the infection harder to treat. If you forget to take a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if the next dose is due within 4 hours, omit the missed dose and take only at your regular scheduled dose.  Do not take two doses to make up for the missed dose.
