AIDS originates from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) influence on the organism. HIV makes it so rickety that it is unable to resist any contagion and the consequences are just disastrous. Combivir represents a compounding of lamivudine and zidovudine, refers to reverse transcriptase inhibitors and it is intended to interfere with the virus so that is spreads less rapidly. It does not cure HIV or AIDS.

It is crucial to be careful while combining the medication with different drugs and equally important not to take it simultaneously with Epivir, Retrovir, Epzicom, and Trizivir. Problems with liver or kidneys or muscles, experience of a pancreas disorder or bone marrow suppression should be considered before taking the medication. Refrain from taking the drug provided it evokes hypersensitivity response in you. If you are in the state of pregnancy make your doctor aware of it; breast-feeding is forbidden when taking the drug and it is generally forbidden to women with AIDS or HIV. Be careful with alcohol beverages and refrain from unprotected sex.

The drug should be taken on a regular basis either with meals or not. In order to gain the most effect from the treatment the drug is frequently prescribed in a complex with other medicines. Do not make up for the left out dose taking two pills at once. The medication can evoke the condition of lactic acidosis as an adverse effect in rare cases. The medication can have other side-effects and should you have disturbing symptoms, overdose or want to know about interaction with other drugs consult your doctor.

It is important to remember that Combivir is not a remedy for HIV or AIDS. Mind that the treatment with the medicine does not guarantee that HIV won't transfer to another person during sexual contact. There is a possibility that treatment with the medication during the pregnancy period reduces the chance of the child inheriting HIV.
