Anti HIV Medicines

Ricovir is an antiretroviral medication that treats HIV-1 in adults when taken with other anti-HIV drugs. One tablet contains 300mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. It is highly effective, yet Ricovir must be part of a regiment of multiple antiretrovirals to stop HIV-1 from progressing to AIDS.

One 300mg tablet should be consumed orally with or without food once a day. Because Ricovir has been documented to affect kidney functions, patients with a creatinine clearance of 30-49 mL/min should only take one dose every 48 hours. Those with a creatinine clearance of 10-29 mL/min may take one 300 mg tablet two times a week, while patients undergoing hemodialysis should be restricted to one tablet every seven days or 12 hours after dialysis.

Contraindications

Anyone hypersensitive to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should not take Ricovir.

Adverse Effects

Several mild side effects have been commonly reported by patients taking Ricovir including:

Nausea,Rash,Diarrhea,Asthenia,Vomiting,Flatulence.

Some less common but severe side effects that have been documented are:

Renal impairment or failure,Interstitial nephritis,Fanconi syndrome,Hepatomegaly with steatosis,Lactic acidosis,Tubular necrosis,Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Other adverse effects have been reported by patients taking Ricovir. Let your doctor know if you experience any changes in your physical or mental health after beginning to take Ricovir.

Precautions and Warnings

Some patients show symptoms of immune reconstitution syndrome when first starting Ricovir. Patients with hepatitis B can experience acute exacerbation of hepatitis symptoms after they discontinue tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. The safety and effectiveness of administering Ricovir to patients co-infected with hepatitis B and HIV has yet be established and hepatitis patients should be closely monitored for several months after they stop using Ricovir. Patients taking Ricovir have also reported loss in bone mineral density and osteomalacia. Taking nephrotoxic drugs with Ricovir might increase the risk of renal implications.
