tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c,... or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea,... diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato—i did. sports on abc7 is sponsored by your local toyota dealers. >> the a's going for their eighth straight win today but an unscheduled off day tomorrow twins dealing with covid issues postponing the contest tentatively scheduled for tuesday if minnesota clears testing.
