Zidovudine is an antiretroviral drug used primarily to treat HIV infection. It is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that can prevent viral replication and reduce the amount of virus in the body. Zidovudine is often used with other anti-HIV drugs to enhance the effectiveness of treatment.
When using Zidovudine, patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and should not change the dosage or stop taking the medication at will. Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, and anemia, and patients should monitor these symptoms during use and inform their doctor promptly.
Patients should avoid drinking alcohol while taking Zidovudine and inform their doctors about other medications they are taking to avoid drug interactions. If severe side effects or allergic reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.
Directions: Zidovudine is an antiretroviral medicine commonly used to treat HIV infection. It should be used under the guidance of a physician and taken as recommended by a physician or pharmacist. It is usually recommended to take it at a fixed time each day, with or without food, but make sure the interval between each dose is the same. Avoid taking it at the same time as antacids containing aluminum or magnesium as they may affect the efficacy of the drug.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 600 to 1200 mg per day, taken in 2 to 3 divided doses. Your physician may adjust the dose based on the severity of your condition and your tolerance. The dosage for children is based on weight and age, usually 24 mg/kg per day, taken in 3 to 4 divided doses. Younger or lighter children may require a lower dose and should consult their physician for guidance. Dosage adjustment should be performed under the supervision of a physician and the dose should not be increased or decreased on your own. If you have any questions or adverse reactions, you should consult a medical professional promptly.
