Prophylaxis used to treat HIV patients?
I hope that I am interpreting the wording of this question correctly. Please do not hesitate to send a follow-up question if necessary. Prophylaxis can refer to several things as it relates to HIV infection. The definition of prophylaxis is "a measure designed to preserve health." Condoms are considered a prophylaxis for HIV infection. They help prevent the spread of the virus by restricting the transfer of infected body fluid during sex. PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) is used when a patient is suspected of having been exposed to HIV. PEP consists of prescribing hefty doses of HIV medications within 72 hours of exposure to prevent HIV infection.

There should be gap of minimum four weeks. So you should have minimum five doses of vaccine on day 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 for post exposure prophylaxis. The dose on day 90 is optional.
Will taking too much tramadol cause a seizure or a stroke?
The most commonly reported adverse drug reactions are nausea, vomiting and sweating. Drowsiness is reported, although it is less of an issue than for other opioids. Respiratory depression, a common side effect of most opioids, is not clinically significant in normal doses. By itself, it can decrease the seizure threshold. When combined with SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, or in patients with epilepsy, the seizure threshold is further decreased. Seizures have been reported in humans receiving excessive single oral doses (700 mg) or large intravenous doses (300 mg). An Australian study found that of 97 confirmed new-onset seizures, eight were associated with Tramadol, and that in the authors' First Seizure Clinic, "Tramadol is the most frequently suspected cause of provoked seizures" (Labate 2005). Dosages of coumadin/warfarin may need to be reduced for anticoagulated patients to avoid bleeding complications.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below.
