Viraday Tablets(Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets)

Viraday Tablets (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets) contains  different anti-retroviral drugs that are effective in treatment of retroviruses (RNA viruses) such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Viraday Tablets (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets)Uses

Viraday (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets) is a combination medicine used to treat HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in adults. Each tablet contains a combination of three antiretroviral drugs: Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (Viread) 300mg + Emtricitabine (Emtriva) 200mg + Efavirenz (Sustiva) 600mg.

Viraday (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets) contains three different anti-retroviral drugs that are effective in treatment of retroviruses (RNA viruses) such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Replication of the HIV virus is caused by the action of viral-specific enzyme reverse transcriptase. These drugs inhibit the action of these enzymes.

How  Viraday Tablets (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets) work?

Viraday (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets) contain a combination of three antiretroviral drugs, efavirenz, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, which are only effective against RNA viruses (retroviruses) like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). These three drugs each work by inhibiting the action of the viral-specific enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) which is needed for the virus to be able to replicate. Retroviruses convert RNA to DNA, which is then integrated into the DNA of infected immune cells so that the virus can replicate. Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and acts by binding to a specific site on the RT enzyme and blocks its action in a manner that is noncompetitive with nucleosides, which are the precursors to the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Tenofovir and Emtricitabine are both nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), which means that they block the action of RT by competing with one of the nucleosides needed to transcribe the viral RNA into DNA, becoming incorporated into the chain of newly synthesized viral DNA and preventing it from growing (chain termination). Emtricitabine is an analogue of cytidine and tenofovir is an analogue of adenosine. The combined action of the three antiiretroviral drugs in Viraday (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets) prevents the integration of the virus into the DNA of the infected CD4+ immune cell, which inhibits the replication of HIV so that no more virus can be produced and this reduces the viral load (amount of virus). Viraday (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Efavirenz 600mg Tablets) slow down the replication of HIV within your body but does not kill the virus already incorporated in the CD4+ cells or prevent the spread of the infection to others.

What do I do if I miss a Viraday Tablets dose

Take a missed dose as soon as you think about it. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your normal time. Do not take 2 doses at the same time or extra doses. Do not change the dose or stop this drug. Talk with the doctor.

Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets)

Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) contains three drugs: Lamivudine, Nevirapine and Zidovudine. It is the medicine that is used with other HIV drugs for the control of HIV infections. This drug is very effective in decreasing the chances of a person getting infected with this virus. It improves the condition of the patient.

Lamivudine and Zidovudine are both NRTIs i.e. Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors while Nevirapine is a non-NTRIs(NNTRIs).

Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) is a combination of three drugs commonly used in the management of the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection. Both zidovudine and lamivudine belong to the nucleoside analogue class of antiretroviral drugs. Both drugs act by terminating the growth of the dna chain and inhibiting the reverse transcriptase (rt) of hiv. Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nnrti). It acts by directly inhibiting rt. Each tablet of Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) contains half of the commonly prescribed daily doses of zidovudine, lamivudine and nevirapine. Usually, all three drugs are to be administered twice daily, permitting a fixed-dose combination to be formulated. With the availability of this combination formulation, patients may be better able to adhere to triple drug regimens, thereby enhancing compliance.

Uses of the drug:

This medicine is used for HIV infections. HIV is Human Immunodeficiency Virus; this virus is responsible for spreading AIDS disease. HIV can be transmitted through blood transfusion, mother to child during pregnancy and through sexual contact with infected persons etc.

How does Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) work?

Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) contain a combination of three antiretroviral drugs; nevirapine, zidovudine and lamivudine, which are effective only against RNA viruses (retroviruses) like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). These three drugs each work by inhibiting the action of the viral-specific enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) which is needed for the virus to be able to replicate. Retroviruses convert RNA to DNA, which is then integrated into the DNA of infected immune cells so that the virus can replicate. Nevirapine in Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI); nucleosides are the precursors to the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Nevirapine in Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) acts by binding to a specific site on the RT enzyme, the enzyme's active site known as the NNRTI pocket, disrupting the catalytic site of the enzyme, and blocking its action in a manner that is noncompetitive with nucleosides. Zidovudine and lamivudine are both nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), which means that they block the action of RT by competing with one of the nucleosides needed to transcribe the viral RNA into DNA, becoming incorporated into the chain of newly synthesized viral DNA and preventing it from growing (chain termination). Zidovudine is an analogue of thymidine and lamivudine is an analogue of cytidine. The combined action of the three antiiretroviral drugs in Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) prevents the integration of the virus into the DNA of the infected CD4+ immune cell by 2 different mechanisms, which inhibits the replication of HIV so that no more virus can be produced, and this reduces the viral load (amount of virus). Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) slows down the replication of HIV within your body but does not kill the virus already incorporated in the CD4+ cells or prevent the spread of the infection to others.

Dosage Adjustment

Because Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) is a fixed-dose combination, they should not be prescribed for patients requiring dosage adjustment such as those with reduced renal function (creatinine clearance <50 ml/min), or hepatic impairment, or those experiencing dose-limiting adverse events.

Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) should be discontinued if patients experience severe rash or a rash accompanied by constitutional findings (see warnings and precautions). Patients experiencing mild to moderate rash during the 14-day lead-in period of 200 mg/day should not have their nevirapine dose increased or start therapy with Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) tuntil the rash has resolved (see warnings and precautions). If rash persists beyond the 14-day lead-in period, do not dose escalate to Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) twice daily. The Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) once-daily dosing regimen should not be continued beyond 28 days, after which an alternative regimen should be sought.

If a clinical (symptomatic) hepatic event occurs, nevirapine should be permanently discontinued and not be restarted after recovery .

Patients who interrupt nevirapine dosing for more than 7 days should restart the recommended dosing, using one 200 mg nevirapine tablet daily for the first 14 days (lead-in) in combination with the lamivudine + zidovudine, followed by Duovir-N (Lamivudine 150mg, Zidovudine 300 mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) twice daily in the absence of any signs of hypersensitivity.

Nelvir (Nelfinavir Mesylate 250mg Tablets)

The main active ingredient is Nelvir (Nelfinavir Mesylate 250mg Tablets), a protease inhibitor drug. This medicine is quite effective to reduce the discomfort and severity of AIDS and it is a very popular part of antiretroviral therapy. It is always used in combination with other retroviral drugs.

Nelvir (Nelfinavir Mesylate 250mg Tablets) Uses

Nelvir (Nelfinavir Mesylate 250mg Tablets) works by inhibiting the protease of the HIV virus. This in turn helps prevent the production of infectious viral cells. The HIV-1 virus is dependent on enzymes known as proteases in order for its reproductive cycle to function properly. As this medicine blocks the viral protease, it affects certain polyproteins, and this causes the virus to reproduce immature viral copies which are not able to further infect the body.

Nelvir (Nelfinavir Mesylate 250mg Tablets) Working:

Nelvir (Nelfinavir Mesylate 250mg Tablets) is a protease inhibitor drug that works by blocking the enzyme called protease. This enzyme is an essential part of replication mechanism of HIV and thus it reduces the amount of infectious virus in the body.

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets)

This drug has a generic name Stavudine, Lamivudine, Nevirapine which contains 30 Mg of Stavudine, 150mg of lamivudine and 200mg of nevirapine. It is considered as antiretroviral type of medication which is a fixed dose combination treatment in prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This medication can help in slow down the ability of HIV to replicate and spread. It allows the number of CD4+ cells to increase and to help the immune system to recover and reduce the risk of disease spread.  

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) Uses :

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) is an antiviral drug that prevents the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virus from multiplying in the body. This medication is used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets)will however, not cure the body of HIV.

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) work?

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) contain a combination of 3 antiretroviral drugs stavudine, lamivudine and nevirapine, which are effective only against RNA viruses (retroviruses) like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). These three drugs each work by inhibiting the action of the viral-specific enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) which is needed for the virus to be able to replicate. Retroviruses convert RNA to DNA, which is then integrated into the DNA of infected immune cells so that the virus can replicate. Nevirapine in Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) is a dipyridodiazepine derivative non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI); nucleosides are the precursors to the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Nevirapine in Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) acts by binding to a specific site on the RT enzyme, the enzyme's active site known as the NNRTI pocket, disrupting the catalytic site of the enzyme, and blocking its action in a manner that is noncompetitive with nucleosides. Stavudine and lamivudine are both nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), which means that they block the action of RT by competing with one of the nucleosides needed to transcribe the viral RNA into DNA, becoming incorporated into the chain of newly synthesized viral DNA and preventing it from growing (chain termination). Stavudine is an analogue of thymidine and lamivudine is an analogue of cytidine. The combined action of the three antiiretroviral drugs in Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) prevents the integration of the virus into the DNA of the infected CD4+ immune cell by 2 different mechanisms, which inhibits the replication of HIV so that no more virus can be produced and this reduces the viral load (amount of virus). Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) slows down the replication of HIV within your body but does not kill the virus already incorporated in the CD4+ cells or prevent the spread of the infection to others.

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) Dosage Information

All three drugs are generally recommended twice daily, permitting a fixed-dose combination to be formulated. With the availability of this combination formulation, patients may be better able to adhere to triple drug regimens, thereby enhancing compliance. Store the medicine at room temperature away from moisture. It is usually taken by the patients weighing less than 60 kg.

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) can be taken with or without food but it should be swallowed with a full glass of water. Always consult the doctor for proper dosage and duration of the treatment because it will depend on patient’s condition and other conditions like weight and their response to therapy. This medication can help to control HIV but it cannot be used to cure the virus. 

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) Side effects:

Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) used for?

Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) are used to treat infection infections of the skin and mucous membranes caused by herpes simplex virus, including cold sores (herpes labialis), initial and recurrent episodes of genital herpes in people with a healthy immune system, and shingles (herpes zoster). Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) are also used for suppression of recurrent genital herpes infections in people with an active immune system (immunocompetent) and to reduce the transmission of genital herpes to others. In HIV-infected patients who are immunocompromised, Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) are used for prevention (prophylaxis) of herpes infections. Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) are also used to treat cold sores in children who are at least 12 years old, and to treat chickenpox, caused by the closely related varicella zoster herpes in children who are at least 2 years old.

Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) work?

Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) contain valacyclovir, a prodrug of acyclovir that is more readily absorbed and is converted to acyclovir by the liver. Valacyclovir in Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) then works in the same way as acyclovir, as an antiviral agent that is highly active against both types of herpes simplex virus, HSV-I, that causes cold sores and HSV-II that causes genital herpes; and also against the closely related varicella zoster herpes virus that causes chicken pox and shingles. Acyclovir inhibits the action of a viral enzyme (DNA polymerase), blocking viral DNA synthesis without affecting normal cellular processes. This prevents the virus replicating and therefore stops the growth and spread of the virus, relieving symptoms of the infection and helping the body to fight off the infection. Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) will not cure a herpes infection, as the virus can lie dormant in infected cells until reactivated when immunity is low by stress, other illness or even exposure to sunlight, causing new infections like cold sores and shingles; but it does reduce pain and help the sores caused by the infection to heal faster.

Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) Dosage

The dosage of Valcivir (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets) is given below. This is a general dosage guideline. Please consult your doctor for exact dosage, which wuill vary as per individual and the indication being treated.
