SALT INFORMATION
Lamivudine(60 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
Stavudine(12 Mg)
Uses
Stavudine is used in combination with other anti-viral drugs in the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. It does not cure the infection, but prevents the spread of HIV and HIV-related illnesses such as suppression of immunity, cancer and other infections.
How it works
Stavudine belongs to a group of drugs called as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works by inhibiting multiplication of viruses thus decreasing their levels in the infected patient.
Common side effects
Depression, Dizziness, Nausea, Insomnia, Neuritis, Abnormal dreams or thoughts, Somnolence, Peripheral neuropathy, Headache, Fatigue, Paresthesia, Abdominal pain, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Skin rashes and pruritus
Nevirapine(100 Mg)
Uses
Nevarapine is used to treat and control Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) infection for adults, adolescents, and children of any age. It must be used along with other HIV medicines.
How it works
Nevirapine belongs to a class of anti-HIV medicines called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that HIV needs in order to multiply. Nevirapine stops reverse transcriptase from working, and thus helps control HIV-1 infection.
Common side effects
Decreased blood phosphorus, Increased blood pressure, Raised, Arthralgia, Urticaria pale red, Breathlessness, Coughing, Nausea, Noisy respiration, Hepatitis, Abdominal cramps, Angioedema swelling of eyes and lips, Myalgia, Liver toxicity, Fever, Headache, Jaundice, Fatigue, Stevens-johnson syndrome / toxic epidermal necrolysis, Vomiting, Abdominal pain, Diarrhea, Rash, Sneezing, Itchy skin rash
