Why is Retrovir prescribed?
Doctors use Retrovir to treat adults infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This disease causes the immune system to break down so that it can no longer respond effectively to infection, leading to the fatal disease known as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Retrovir makes the progress of HIV slow down. If you want to combine Retrovir with other medications such as Epivir and Crixivan it can help slow the progression.
How do I use Retrovir?
Take Retrovir exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Never share Retrovir with anyone and do not exceed your recommended dosage. Take it at even intervals every 4 hours around the clock (children every 6 hours).
If you forget a dose of Retrovir, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at once.
What are the potential side effects from Retrovir?
The frequency and severity of side effects associated with the use of Retrovir are greater in people whose infection is more advanced when treatment is started. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish side effects from the underlying signs of HIV disease or the infections caused by HIV.
Frequent side effects may include: Diarrhea, difficult or labored breathing, ear pain, discharge or swelling, enlarged liver, enlarged spleen, fever, general feeling of illness, headache, loss of appetite, mouth sores, nausea, nasal discharge or congestion, rash, swollen lymph nodes, cough and vomiting.
What should I discuss with my doctor before taking Retrovir?
Consult your doctor if you have any of the following conditions: If you have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to Retrovir or any of its ingredients, avoid this drug. If you develop a blood disease, you may require a blood transfusion, and your doctor may reduce your dose or take you off the drug altogether. Make sure your doctor monitors your blood count on a regular basis.
