INTRODUCTION ABOUT LAZID N TABLET
LAZID
N TABLET is a combination of Lamivudine, Nevirapine, and Zidovudine
which belongs to the group of medicines called Antiretroviral drugs. It
is used in adults and children (weighing at least 25 kgs) to manage HIV
(human immunodeficiency virus) infection. HIV targets the immune system
and weakens your defence against many infections that people with
healthy immune systems can fight off.
As the virus destroys and
impairs the function of immune cells, infected individuals gradually
become immunodeficient, and reach the most advanced stage of HIV
infection called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It may
present with the symptoms of any other infection like fever, throat
pain, extreme tiredness, weight loss, muscle pain, etc.
During
the course of the management, your doctor might take regular blood tests
to avoid any untoward side effects. Avoid consumption of alcohol while
taking LAZID N TABLET as it may cause bone problems. LAZID N TABLET is
not suitable for use in children (weighing less than 25 kgs). LAZID N
TABLET is not recommended for use in patients with low red blood cell
count, liver problems, or with medicines like rifampicin or St. John’s
wort.
Before taking LAZID N TABLET, inform your doctor if you
have any kidney problems. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant before
taking LAZID N TABLET. You should not breastfeed while taking LAZID N
TABLET. The most common side effects of taking LAZID N TABLET are

pain, cough, trouble sleeping, hair loss, etc. Contact your doctor if

HOW LAZID N TABLET WORKS
