About ZIDOLAM N 150MG TABLET

ZIDOLAM N 150MG TABLET belongs to a class of medications called antiretrovirals, primarily used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), making an individual more susceptible to other infections and diseases like cancer.

ZIDOLAM N 150MG TABLET is a combination of three medications: lamivudine, zidovudine, and nevirapine. Lamivudine and zidovudine are nucleosidase reverse transcriptase inhibitors that work together to decrease the amount of virus in your body by inhibiting HIV reverse transcription through viral DNA chain termination. Nevirapine is a non-nucleosidase reverse transcriptase inhibitor that works by lowering the amount of HIV in the blood. ZIDOLAM N 150MG TABLET will not cure HIV infection or AIDS; however, it helps keep HIV from reproducing and appears to slow down the destruction of the immune system.

You should take ZIDOLAM N 150MG TABLET at the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor.

Always keep your doctor informed about any medications you are currently taking to avoid potential side effects or interactions.
