INDICATIONS
ISENTRESS is an anti-HIV medicine used for the treatment of HIV. ISENTRESS must be used with other
anti-HIV medicines, which may increase the likelihood of response to treatment.
The safety and effectiveness of ISENTRESS in children has not been studied.
It is important that you remain under your doctor’s care.
ISENTRESS will NOT cure HIV infection or reduce your chance of passing HIV to others through sexual
contact, sharing needles, or being exposed to your blood.
You are special, unique, and different from anyone else. And so is your
path to managing HIV. When you’re ready to start HIV therapy, talk to
your doctor about a medication that may fit your needs and lifestyle.
In clinical studies lasting 48 weeks, patients being treated with HIV medication for the first time who took
ISENTRESS plus Truvada:
Had a low rate of side effects
— In 4% of patients taking ISENTRESS plus Truvada versus 3% taking Sustiva plus Truvada, the
most commonly reported side effect of moderate to severe intensity (that interfered with or kept
patients from performing daily activities) was trouble sleeping
Experienced less effect on LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol)
— Cholesterol increased an average of 6 mg/dL with ISENTRESS plus Truvada versus 16 mg/dL
with Sustiva plus Truvada
People taking ISENTRESS may still develop infections, including opportunistic infections or other conditions
that occur with HIV infection.
Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you have any allergies, are pregnant
or plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. ISENTRESS is not recommended
for use during pregnancy. Women with HIV should not breast-feed because their babies could be infected
with HIV through their breast milk.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription medicines like rifampin (a medicine
used to treat infections such as tuberculosis), non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of
prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch,
or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

A new gay-themed film called “A
SINGLE MAN” from director Tom Ford
opens today at Landmark E Street
Cinema. Set in Los Angeles in 1962, the
film tells the story of George Falconer
(Colin Firth), a 52-year-old British college
professor struggling to find meaning after
the death of his long-time partner, Jim
(Matthew Goode). George dwells on the
past and cannot see his future as the film
follows him through a single day where a
series of events and encounters ulti-
mately leads him to decide if there is a
meaning to life after Jim. George is con-
soled by his closest friend Charley
(Julianne Moore), who’s wrestling with
her own future. It’s based on the novel by
Christopher Isherwood. The new Pedro
Almodovar movie “Broken Embraces,”
starring Penelope Cruz, also opens
today at E Street. For more information,
