Introduction

Diavix is a combination of two antiretrovirals. It is prescribed to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. It boosts up the immunity to fight against HIV to manage or treat AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Diavix restricts the growth of HIV in the body and reduces the risk of getting HIV-related complications to improve the lifespan of an individual. The medicine can be taken with or without food. Taking these medicines regularly at the same time increases their effectiveness. A dose of this medicine should not be missed as it can affect your recovery. It is important to complete the full course of the treatment until your doctor advises you to stop it. Some of the the most common side effects of this medicine are nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and fatigue. These side effects are generally temporary, but if they persist or become serious inform your doctor. This medicine can also make you feel dizzy or sleepy, so it is advised to avoid driving. Drinking plenty of fluid can help you to cope up with this side effect, so stay hydrated. Before starting with the treatment, you should consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have any health condition. Your doctor may suggest regular laboratory tests to check your blood counts, kidney and liver functions, and other health conditions. If you are HIV positive, you should not breastfeed or share personal belongings like razors or toothbrushes. Consult your doctor to know about safe sex methods in order to prevent transmission of HIV during intercourse.

How Diavix works

Diavix is a combination of two anti-HIV medicines: Lamivudine and Zidovudine. They prevent HIV (virus) from multiplying, thereby reducing the amount of virus in your body. They also increase the CD4 cell (white blood cells that protect against infection) count in your blood.

Quick Tips

  • Diavix is a combination of two medicines which slows down or stops the progression of HIV infections.
  • It may also be used for preventing HIV and should be started within 72 hours of exposure to HIV.
  • Take it with food, as this increases the absorption of the medicine into the body.
  • Diavix may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
  • Skipping doses increases the risk of treatment failure. Make sure that you take all your doses at the correct time.
  • Always practice safe sex while taking Diavix. Do not share needles or personal items that can have blood or body fluids on them.
  • It may cause weakening of your bones. Exercise regularly and take calcium and vitamin D supplements as suggested by your doctor.

Precaution

Renal and hepatic impairment; poor bone marrow reserve prior to treatment; risk of opportunistic infection; patients (especially obese women) with risk factors for or active liver disease. Patients with low body wt should avoid the combined formulation. Separate formulations of lamivudine or zidovudine should not be given at the same time as the combined formulation. If dose adjustment is necessary for either component, separate formulations should be used. Monitor haematological parameters (advanced disease: 2 wkly for 1st 3 mth of treatment, then monthly; early disease: 1-3 mthly), LFTs, mean cell volume, serum creatinine kinase, viral load, CD4 counts and blood lactate levels. Patient to report any sore throat, nausea, vomiting, unexplained bruising or bleeding. Maintain adequate hydration (2-3 L/day) unless fluid restricted. Withdraw treatment if symptomatic hyperlactaemia, metabolic/lactic acidosis, progressive heptomegaly or rapidly elevating aminotransferase levels occur. Cases of lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis syndrome have been reported in pregnancy. Monitor hepatic enzymes and electrolytes regularly during 3rd trimester. Lactation: not recommended
