You should take dolutegravir at least two hours before or six hours after the magnesium citrate dose. When taken with food, dolutegravir and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium or iron can be taken at the same time. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns, or if you have trouble separating the dosing times. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
