    12 years on Combivir with no known negative impact. Just a word to the wise. The drug Reyataz raised my liver enzymes in 3 categories to over 325. This could have destroyed my liver and, at 67 years of age I doubt I would be a likely candidate for a transplant. Doctors are busy and don't remember everything they should. If you are prescribed this drug, insist on a follow up blood draw in 3-4 weeks. Be proactive in your own health. Good Luck! Published: January 21, 2008 ::

    1-2-2009: This has worked fine for the last 5 previous years. My doctor wants to remove me from it because of potential of lipodistrophy in the face. I have suffered no side effects from using combivir, and am reluctant to part with it. For me, it's a matter of 'The Devil you know versus the Devil you don't". Published: January 05, 2009 ::
