Very bad, hep b and alcohol highway to the grave.the first thing d doctor tells u while on viread is stop alcohol, next reduce fatty food comsumption drink a lot of water eat fruits n vegetables.i dont even comsume energy drinks
All the comments here are spot on. You're friend not only needs to cut back severely, but needs to quit cold turkey! Alcohol is bad for anyone with a liver disease, especially this one.
I've had 2 doctors tell me otherwise. The first was a GI doctor who told me "You can have a beer a day and you'll be fine."
The next was my current doctor who told me "If it's a special occasion, you are ok to drink 1 or 2 even on this medication...... but I'd reccommend not drinking at all."
I choose to not drink any more. I've had many opportunities. When asked, I just tell them "Doctor asked me not to drink for a bit" and people understand.
Hi,I wish to find out if Viread can be prescribed for someone without HIV or Heb B?Thank you
