ABAMUNE Abacavir Sulphate 300mg Tablets: Uses, Side Effects, and Precautions
ABAMUNE Abacavir Sulphate 300mg Tablets treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. This antiretroviral medication belongs to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It blocks the reverse transcriptase enzyme, essential for HIV replication, helping reduce viral load and slowing the progression to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
ABAMUNE is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to control HIV infection. It lowers the viral load, increases CD4 cell counts, and reduces HIV-related complications. In some cases, it supports pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for individuals at high risk of HIV exposure under medical supervision.
Common side effects may include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue and dizziness
- Headache
- Insomnia
- Diarrhea
- Rash
Serious side effects may include:
- Severe allergic reactions, with symptoms like fever, rash, breathing difficulties, and facial swelling requiring immediate medical attention
- Liver damage, indicated by jaundice, dark urine, and abdominal pain
- Heart problems, including an increased risk of heart attack or heart failure
Patients with a known allergy to Abacavir should avoid this medication, as hypersensitivity reactions can be life-threatening. Those with liver disease or heart conditions should consult their doctor for potential dose adjustments. ABAMUNE should always be used alongside other antiretroviral drugs to prevent resistance. While generally considered safe during pregnancy, breastfeeding should be avoided unless a healthcare provider advises otherwise.
