WHAT NEVIRAPINE TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Nevirapine Teva belongs to a group of medicines called
antiretrovirals, used in the treatment of
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) infection.
The active substance of your medicine is called nevirapine. Nevirapine
belongs to a class of anti-HIV
medicines called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(NNRTIs). Reverse transcriptase is an
enzyme that HIV needs in order to multiply. Nevirapine stops reverse
transcriptase from working. By
stopping reverse transcriptase from working, Nevirapine Teva helps
control HIV-1 infection.
Nevirapine Teva is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infected
adults, adolescents, and children of
any age. You must take Nevirapine Teva together with other
antiretroviral medicines. Your doctor will
recommend the best medicines for you.
IF NEVIRAPINE TEVA HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOUR CHILD, PLEASE NOTE
THAT ALL INFORMATION IN THIS
LEAFLET IS ADDRESSED TO YOUR CHILD (IN THIS CASE PLEASE READ “YOUR
