abacavir
Short Description
This drug works by blocking the replication of the virus by blocking the action of the reverse transcriptase enzyme, and abacavir is taken with other antiviral drugs, such as: lamivudine (Lamivudine) and efavirenz, in order to avoid the development of resistant viruses to the drug.
Abacavir can be given as a primary treatment for AIDS patients, or for patients who have not responded to treatment and who have developed resistance to the action of other antivirals.
The most severe side effect of this drug is hypersensitivity, which is represented by the appearance of fever, breathing difficulties, rash and other symptoms. This side effect appears in 5-7% of patients who take the drug if they continue to take it or stop and then return to taking it again. This poses a threat to the patient's life.
