NEVIRAPINE 400 mg/1

Nevirapine 400 mg extended-release tablets are an antiretroviral medication used to manage HIV. This extended-release formulation is designed for convenient once-daily dosing.

Nevirapine is primarily used as part of combination therapy to treat HIV infection. It works by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is essential for the virus to replicate. This helps to reduce the amount of HIV in the body, improving immune function and delaying disease progression. Nevirapine 400 mg extended-release tablets are formulated to provide a steady release of the medication over an extended period, which may help to simplify treatment regimens.

Common effects of Nevirapine may include rash, nausea, headache, and fatigue. Some individuals may experience more severe skin reactions, which should be promptly reported to a healthcare provider. As with any medication, individual responses can vary, and not everyone will experience these effects.

Nevirapine should be handled with care, especially regarding potential allergic reactions. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Patients should be monitored for signs of liver toxicity, as Nevirapine can affect liver function. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.

Nevirapine may interact with various medications, including those metabolized by the liver's cytochrome P450 system. This can affect the effectiveness of other drugs or increase the risk of side effects. It is important to inform healthcare providers about all medications being taken, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol consumption should be discussed with a healthcare provider, as it may exacerbate certain side effects.
