Product Introduction

Viro 4 Kit tablet contains the active substances Atazanavir, Lamivudine, Ritonavir, and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, which are antiretroviral or antiviral medicines. This medicine is used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. It acts as a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) and functions by inhibiting HIV reverse transcriptase, an enzyme essential for virus replication. This tablet has not been studied in patients aged over 65 years. Do not use Viro 4 Kit tablet if you have experienced allergic reactions to Atazanavir, Lamivudine, Ritonavir, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, or any other ingredient in this medicine. During treatment with Atazanavir, Lamivudine, Ritonavir, and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, your doctor may periodically monitor your blood counts, bone mineral density, cardiac function, liver function, and kidney function parameters to prevent serious complications. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart failure (PR prolongation), hypersensitivity reactions (toxic skin eruptions or Stevens-Johnson syndrome), pancreatitis, bone disease (osteonecrosis—the death of bone tissue), fractures, liver disease (chronic hepatitis B or C), or kidney problems. Patients taking this medicine may develop immune reconstitution syndrome, diabetes mellitus, abnormal fat distribution, and hyperglycaemia. Viro 4 Kit tablet should not be given to patients with existing kidney problems. If you have lactose intolerance, notify your doctor before beginning treatment.

Expert Tips

Inform your doctor about your underlying infections. If you have advanced HIV (AIDS), you may develop signs of infection and inflammation or worsen the signs of an existing infection once treatment is started. Report your doctor for side effects. It is very mandatory to tell your medical professional if you are consuming other medicines that may damage your kidneys. Always consume the dose recommended by your doctor.
