Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. A healthcare professional will weigh the benefits and risks and may discuss pregnancy registry information.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Do not breastfeed if you have human immunodeficiency virus infection unless your specialist gives a different, locally appropriate instruction, because infection can pass through breast milk.

Driving

Driving

Do not drive or use machinery if you feel dizzy, sleepy, or otherwise impaired.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Ask your specialist about alcohol because it may worsen liver-related concerns.

Directions for Use

Take this medicine as a whole with sufficient water. Follow the product label or your doctor's advice about when to take it.

Storage and disposal

Store at room temperature in the original tight container and protect from moisture. Keep out of reach of children and dispose of unused capsules through a pharmacist.

Quick Tips

  • Take it only as part of the prescribed antiretroviral plan.
  • Keep appointments for blood tests and tell your doctor about unusual tiredness, paleness, weakness, or muscle pain.
  • Do not share needles or items that may carry blood.

Dosage

Overdose

Too much zidovudine can cause serious unwanted effects. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is 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?

Zidovudine interferes with an enzyme the virus needs to make copies of itself. It lowers viral activity but does not cure the infection on its own.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way zidovudine works or increase serious unwanted effects. Tell your doctor about all medicines, vitamins, and herbal products you use. In particular, mention stavudine, ribavirin, doxorubicin, and medicines that affect blood counts or the liver.

Interactions with food items

No specific food interaction is established for the capsule. Follow your treatment team's advice and do not change how you take it without asking them.
