London has among the highest HIV diagnosis rates in the UK. Spegra, the Indian generic of Odefsey, combines three antiretrovirals into one daily tablet, offering complete viral suppression with a high barrier to drug resistance.
This combination is WHO-recommended as preferred first-line therapy. The TAF component provides better long-term kidney and bone safety than older regimens, important for London's growing population of patients on lifelong antiretroviral therapy.

FAQ: Can I switch directly from another HIV medication to Spegra? In most cases, yes — but this should always be done under medical supervision. Dolutegravir-based regimens like Spegra are commonly used as switch therapy for patients moving away from older drugs due to side effects or pill burden. Your HIV specialist will typically check your viral load and resistance history before switching to ensure Spegra will maintain viral suppression effectively in your specific case. |
