About Retromin-Iv Infusion
Retromin-Iv Infusion is an antiretroviral medicine used in the treatment of HIV. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retroviral infection that attacks and damages the cells of the immune system. This weakens the ability to fight against infections and diseases. If this condition is left untreated, it can lead to Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Symptoms of HIV include fever, chills, night sweats, muscle aches, etc. This medicine is also used for the prevention of maternal-fetal HIV transmission.
Retromin-Iv Infusion contains Zidovudine, which belongs to the class of protease nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). It works by inhibiting the nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzymes necessary for the virus's DNA reproduction. This causes inhibition of viral replication and thereby prevents further spread of infection.
Retromin-Iv Infusion may cause certain side effects such as nausea, headache, stomach pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea, cough, diarrhoea, nasal congestion, fever, tiredness, muscle pain, dizziness, injection site reactions and pain at the injection site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
