What is the most important information I should know about nevirapine

problems that may lead to death. These
problems can happen at any time during treatment, but your risk is
higher during the first 18 weeks of

Nevirapine extended-release tablets can cause serious side effects,
including:

extended-release tablets
and people with hepatitis B or C also have a greater risk of getting
liver problems.
