Zidovudina Altan

Zidovudine Altan is an antiretroviral medication used to manage HIV infection. It belongs to the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor class. This intravenous formulation supports treatment when oral administration is not feasible. Suitable for adults and children with confirmed HIV diagnosis.

Zidovudine Altan is prescribed to slow the progression of HIV by reducing viral load in the body. It is often used in combination with other antiretrovirals as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. This medication is also used to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV during pregnancy. It does not cure HIV or AIDS but helps manage the condition.

Many patients experience mild side effects such as nausea, headache, or fatigue when starting treatment. Some may notice changes in blood cell counts, which are typically monitored by healthcare providers. These effects are generally temporary and may lessen over time as the body adjusts to the medication.
