I took my PrEP (Descovy) with really warm water accidently?
So this morning, as usual, I took really warm water with my Descovy pills accidently after I got it from the tap.
It wasn't hot tea/coffee hot, but definitely hotter than luke warm. Was my medicine still ok and effective from the high temperature of the water? When I took the medicine I swallowed it almost immediately (within 5 seconds). Should I take a double dose to make up for it, or was the medicine still effective?

You should call your pharmacist or the manufacturer of the medication. Most meds have a website.
