Montreal's Chronic Viral Illness Service at McGill University Health Centre is one of Canada's largest and most research-active HIV clinical programmes. For Montreal patients seeking affordable antiretroviral access outside RAMQ coverage — including Montreal's large Caribbean and African immigrant communities where HIV prevalence is elevated — Spegra provides the same complete WHO-recommended Dolutegravir-based regimen at dramatically reduced cost.
Montreal's unique bilingual, multicultural character creates specific healthcare navigation challenges for HIV-positive newcomers. Generic Spegra's reliable supply from WHO-GMP certified Indian facilities provides a consistent, high-quality option for Montreal patients managing HIV privately or bridging coverage gaps.

What weight changes can occur with Dolutegravir-based regimens like Spegra, and should I be concerned?Weight gain associated with integrase inhibitors — particularly Dolutegravir and Bictegravir — has emerged as a recognised clinical issue from post-approval real-world studies. On average, patients gain 2-5kg in the first 1-2 years on Dolutegravir-based therapy, with some patients gaining more. The mechanism is not fully understood but may involve effects on appetite, adipose tissue metabolism, or mitochondrial function. Women, Black patients, and those switching from older regimens tend to experience more weight gain. The clinical significance depends on individual baseline metabolic risk — for most patients the benefits of excellent viral suppression far outweigh this side effect, but it warrants monitoring and discussion with your Montreal HIV specialist if significant weight gain occurs.
