SALT INFORMATION
Lamivudine(150 Mg)
Uses
Lamivudine indicated as part of antiretroviral combination therapy for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected adults and children and also used in the treatment of Hepatitis B virus infection.
How it works
Lamivudine belongs to a class of medication called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. It decreases the amount of virus (HIV and hepatitis) in the blood. It also increases the number of infection fighting cells in the body (CD4 cells). It does not cure HIV completely but reduces the chances of getting acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV related infections or cancer.
Common side effects
Diarrhea and fever, Redistribution/accumulation of body fat, Acne-like rash, Depression, Arthralgia, Increase in blood urea or creatine phosphokinase, Dizziness, Insomnia, Cough, Fatigue and malaise, Abdominal cramps, Anorexia and stomatitis, Thrombocytopenia, Worsening of hepatitis b infection, Myalgia, Amylase, Peripheral neuropathy, Musculoskeletal pain, Chills, Neuropathy, Abdominal pain, Neutropenia, Dyspepsia, Pancreatitis, Andheadache
Zidovudine(300 Mg)
Uses
Zidovudine is used in combination with other antiretroviral (ART) medicines for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. Zidovudine is also indicated for use in HIV-positive pregnant (over 14 weeks) women for prevention of maternal-fetal HIV transmission (passing of infection), and for primary preventive treatment of HIV infection in new-born infants.
How it works
Zidovudine belongs to a group of medications called nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), also known as antiretrovirals. Zidovudine does not cure HIV infection; it reduces the amount of viruses in the body by inhibiting the enzyme (viral reverse transcriptase) which is essential for the virus to grow. Further, zidovudine also increases some white blood cells (CD4 cells) of the body that are important in fighting infections.
Common side effects
Headache and dizziness, Loose stools, Abdominal and stomach pain, Sleeping difficulties, Constipation, Diarrhea
