What is the most important information I should know about abacavir
tablets?
Abacavir can cause serious side effects, including:
•
Serious allergic reactions (hypersensitivity reaction) that can cause
death have happened with
abacavir and other abacavir-containing products. Your risk of this
allergic reaction is much higher
if you have a gene variation called HLA-B*5701. Your healthcare
provider can determine with a
blood test if you have this gene variation.
If you get a symptom from two or more of the following groups while
taking abacavir tablets, call your
healthcare provider right away to find out if you should stop taking
abacavir tablets.
SYMPTOM(S)
Group 1 Fever
Group 2 Rash
Group 3
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal (stomach area)
pain
Group 4 Generally ill feeling, extreme tiredness, or achiness
Group 5 Shortness of breath, cough, sore throat
A list of these symptoms is on the Warning Card your pharmacist gives
you. Carry this Warning Card
with you at all times.
If you stop abacavir tablets because of an allergic reaction, never
take abacavir tablets or any other
abacavir-containing medicine (EPZICOM ®, TRIUMEQ ®, or TRIZIVIR ®)
again.
•
If you have an allergic reaction, dispose of any unused abacavir. Ask
your pharmacist how to
properly dispose of medicines.
•
If you take abacavir tablets or any other abacavir-containing medicine
again after you have had an
allergic reaction, within hours you may get life-threatening symptoms
that may include very low
blood pressure or death.
•
If you stop abacavir tablets for any other reason, even for a few
days, and you are not allergic to
abacavir, talk with your healthcare provider before taking it again.
Taking abacavir tablets again
can cause a serious allergic or life-threatening reaction, even if you
never had an allergic reaction
to it before.
If your healthcare provider tells you that you can take abacavir
again, start taking it when you are around
