Your immune system may get stronger when you start using HIV medicines. Tell your doctor right away if you or your child notice any changes in your health.

Autoimmune disorders (including Graves disease, polymyositis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome) may also occur.

Contact your doctor right away if you have any changes to your heart rhythm. You might feel dizzy or faint, or you might have a fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeat. Make sure your doctor knows if you had a heart rhythm problem, such as QT prolongation.
