Description

Virolis tablet is a combination medicine used to treat HIV-1 infection. It helps reduce the amount of virus in your body, supports your immune system, and lowers the risk of complications, although it does not cure HIV. This medicine contains lamivudine, stavudine, and nevirapine as active ingredients. Each works in different ways to block the virus from multiplying. You should take it exactly as directed by your doctor, without food, at the same time every day. Swallow the tablet whole with water and do not exceed the prescribed dose.

While taking this medicine, you may experience side effects such as nausea, fatigue, headache, vomiting, diarrhoea, and muscle aches. In rare cases, it can cause more serious issues like blood disorders or liver problems. Watch for symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, abdominal pain, or skin rashes accompanied by fever; these require immediate medical attention. Regular check-ups and blood tests are crucial, especially during the first few weeks of treatment, to ensure the medication is working safely and to detect any side effects promptly.

This medicine may interact with other drugs. Avoid using it with zidovudine, zalcitabine, ribavirin, or doxorubicin. It can also affect how other medications work, such as antibiotics, seizure drugs, or hormonal contraceptives, because nevirapine can increase liver enzyme activity, which may reduce the effectiveness of some medications. Always inform your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you are taking. Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase the risk of liver or pancreas damage.

If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using this medication. It is generally not recommended for breastfeeding mothers because of the risk of passing HIV to the baby and potential side effects in infants. There is also no clear guidance on whether it affects your ability to drive, but dizziness or tiredness may occur, especially if alcohol is consumed, so caution is advised when operating machinery or vehicles.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double up. In case of an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the hospital immediately. Store this medicine in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and pets. Always follow your doctor’s instructions closely to stay healthier and reduce the risk of complications from HIV.
