Product Introduction
Abacavir 300mg is an antiretroviral medicine used with other HIV medicines to control HIV-1 infection. Suppressing the virus helps preserve immune function and reduce HIV-related illness.
How to use
Take the tablet at regular times, with or without food. Keep it within the complete antiretroviral regimen; interrupted treatment can allow resistant virus to develop.
How it works
Abacavir is converted inside cells to carbovir triphosphate, which blocks HIV reverse transcriptase and interrupts the production of viral DNA.
Side effects
Nausea, headache, tiredness, vomiting and diarrhoea can occur. A potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction may involve fever, rash, stomach symptoms and breathing difficulty.
Important information
HLA-B*5701 screening is required before starting. After suspected abacavir hypersensitivity, the medicine must never be restarted, even if the symptoms have settled.
Uses
- HIV-1 infection as part of combination antiretroviral therapy.
Benefits
Helps lower HIV viral load and supports recovery or preservation of CD4 immune cells.
Why is HLA-B*5701 testing needed?
This genetic marker identifies a substantially increased risk of a serious abacavir allergy.
Can an abacavir allergy occur without a rash?
Yes. Fever, nausea, abdominal pain, marked tiredness or breathing symptoms can occur without a rash.
Does an undetectable viral load mean HIV is cured?
No. Treatment suppresses HIV, but the virus remains in the body and continued therapy is needed.
Why is abacavir used with other HIV medicines?
Medicines acting at different stages of viral replication improve suppression and reduce the chance of resistance.
