Product Introduction
Abamune Tablet
Abamune tablet contains the active ingredient Abacavir. It is an antiretroviral drug that belongs to the family known as nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It is used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV-1 is a virus known as the human immunodeficiency virus, which targets and destroys immune system cells, ultimately weakening the body's defence against infections. If left untreated, it can result in death. While this medication does not offer a complete cure, it effectively lowers the virus levels in your body and increases the count of CD4 cells in your bloodstream. These cells play a crucial role in assisting your body's fight against infections. Do not take Abamune tablet if you are allergic to Abacavir, Trizivir, Triumeq, Kivexa, or any of its ingredients. Before starting treatment, inform your physician if you have or have had liver disease, hepatitis B or C infection, or kidney problems. Notify your doctor if you are significantly overweight, particularly if you are a woman. This medicine may increase your chances of getting a heart attack; tell your doctor if you have heart problems, smoke, or have other illnesses that may increase your risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Report any symptoms of joint pain, stiffness, and bone problems while taking this medicine.
