Viramune Information:
Viramune (generic name: Nevirapine) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of viruses. It is used primarily in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Viramune does not cure HIV, it treats the symptoms. Nevirapine is an antiretroviral medication, and it works by reducing the amount of virus in circulation within the body. HIV is a disease that affects the immune system. The immune system becomes weaker and therefore the body becomes susceptible to infections and viruses, and cannot fight them off. Viramune helps to slow the disease by reducing the number of viral cells. HIV is very difficult to diagnose in the early stages, and can often be misread as a cold or flu. Some patients do not notice any symptoms for a few weeks after contracting the virus. Symptoms in those who notice them may include fever, headache, fever and sometimes eczema. Due to the body’s inability to fight off disease and infection, many HIV patients may also at higher risks of cancer.
Viramune Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Viramune including mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, muscle pain, headache, fatigue and changes in the shape or location of body fat. More serious side effects may include nausea, pain in the upper stomach, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay coloured stools, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, any signs of infection and skin rash. If you experience any side effects you must seek medical attention immediately for safety.
Viramune Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed Viramune to you. Directions and dosage information can also be found on the pack or leaflet inside the pack. Viramune comes in tablet form. You should swallow Viramune whole with a glass of water. Viramune should be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not crush, chew or break tablets as this can cause too much of the drug to be released at once.
Viramune Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Viramune, you should avoid taking it and inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions including skin conditions, liver or kidney disease or if you have ever taken delavirdine or efavirenz and they were not effective in treating your condition. You must consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications as they may interact with Viramune, including atazanavir, efavirenz, itraconazole, ketoconazole, rifampin, maraviroc, blood thinners, antibiotics, antifungals, ergot medications, heart or blood pressure medications, other HIV medications, seizure medications or St John’s Wort. It is important that you inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding as Viramune may cause harm to unborn and new born babies.
