Safely Buy Tivicay ( Dolutegravir Sodium ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Tivicay is a pharmaceutical brand that contains the antiretroviral agent dolutegravir.

Dolutegravir may harm an unborn baby if you take the medicine at the time of conception or during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy and tell your doctor if you become pregnant.
