SALT INFORMATION
Lamivudine(300 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
Tenofovir(300 Mg)
Uses
Tenofovir is used in combination with other antiviral drugs in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. It may also be used in very limited cases of long-term infections of liver caused by hepatitis B virus.
How it works
Tenofovir is an antiviral drug belonging to class nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Its structure closely resembles the natural structure of viral DNA, that helps it to incorporateitself into the viral DNA. By doing so, it blocks the activity of an important viral enzyme reverse transcriptase which is involved in the replication of viral DNA, a process essential for survival of the virus.
Common side effects
Increased liver enzymes, Low potassium levels, Lactic acidosis, Low blood phosphate level, Weakness, Urge to vomit, Angioedema
Efavirenz(600 Mg)
Uses
Efavirenz is used in combination with other medications for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
How it works
Efavirenz belongs to a class of antiretroviral medications called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). It inhibits the replication of HIV, thereby reducing the amount of the virus in the blood.
Common side effects
Skin rash, Anger, Dizziness, Depressed mood, Abnormal dreams, Itchiness or changes in skin colour, Tiredness, Softening of Bones, Vomiting, Feeling worried, Itchiness
