WHAT ZERIT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Zerit belongs to a particular group of antiviral medicines, also known
as antiretrovirals, called
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).
These are used to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.
This medicinal product, in combination with other antiretrovirals,
reduces the HIV viral load and
keeps it at a low level. It also increases CD4 cell counts. These CD4
cells play an important role in
maintaining a healthy immune system to help fight infection. Response
to treatment with Zerit varies
between patients. Your doctor will therefore be monitoring the
effectiveness of your treatment.
Zerit may improve your condition, but it is not a cure for your HIV
infection. You can still pass on
HIV when taking this medicine, although the risk is lowered by
effective antiretroviral therapy.
Discuss with your doctor the precautions needed to avoid infecting
other people.
During treatment, other infections linked to a weakened immunity
(opportunistic infections) may arise.
These will require specific and sometimes preventive treatment.
