Dosage

Overdose

An overdose may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue or other side effects. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

Do not stop this chronic antiretroviral treatment without medical advice. If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Abacavir mimics a building block that the virus uses to copy genetic material. This interrupts viral multiplication when it is used with other antiretroviral medicines.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way abacavir works or change the effect of other medicines. Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, including non-prescription products. In particular, tell your doctor if you take methadone, riociguat, or other medicines for human immunodeficiency virus infection or liver disease.

Interactions with food items

It may be taken with or without food. Avoid excess alcohol and ask your doctor about any liver-related dietary advice.
