Viraday Bottle Of 30 Tablets
Description
Viraday tablet is a combination of antiretroviral medications used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. It works by boosting the immune system to fight HIV and manage or treat AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). This medication helps to restrict the growth of HIV in the body, reducing the risk of HIV-related complications and improving the lifespan of the individual. For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to take the Viraday tablet on an empty stomach and at the same time every day. Missing doses can affect recovery, so it is essential to follow the prescribed regimen and complete the full treatment course as directed by your doctor.
Some individuals may experience bone pain while on this treatment. To address this, a doctor may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements. Additionally, birth control pills may be ineffective when taking this medication, so alternative, reliable birth control methods should be used.
Common side effects of the Viraday tablet include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, flatulence, trouble sleeping, headache, rash, and sinusitis. These side effects are generally not severe but should be reported to a doctor if they persist or become bothersome. The medication may also cause dizziness or drowsiness, so activities such as driving should be avoided. Alcohol consumption can increase the intensity of side effects and should be avoided.
Before starting treatment with Viraday tablet, it is important to consult a doctor, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or having kidney, liver, or bone disease. Regular blood tests may be suggested to monitor blood counts, liver function, and kidney function. If HIV positive, it is advised not to breastfeed or share personal items like razors or toothbrushes. Safe sex methods should be discussed with a doctor to prevent the transmission of HIV during intercourse.
