Description

Uses, Side Effects, Price of ABEC L Tablet ' the 30s:

ABEC L is a combination of Abacavir and Lamivudine which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-viral agents. It is used in the treatment of HIV infection in adults, adolescents, and children (weighing above 25 kgs). HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is a viral infection that damages our immune system and weakens our body’s ability to fight against various infections.

Both abacavir and lamivudine are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. They work by blocking the actions of certain viral enzymes (HIV-reverse transcriptase) that is required for the viral cell to grow and multiply. This prevents the further multiplication of viral cells within the body. Also, they can improve immunity in the affected patients by increasing the number of certain types of white blood cells (CD4) in the body which are required to fight against various infections.

ABEC L cannot cure HIV infection completely. It can reduce only the number of viral cells present in the body and maintains them at a lower level. During treatment with ABEC L, your doctor will closely monitor your body weight, blood cholesterol levels, and blood sugar levels to reduce the risk of unwanted side effects. Do not take ABEC L if you are allergic to abacavir or lamivudine. Before taking ABEC L inform your doctor if you have diabetes or any liver (hepatitis C or B infection), kidney or heart problems. If you are already taking ABEC L to treat hepatitis B or C infection, do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor.

Even if you take ABEC L, you need to follow certain measures to prevent the spread of infections to other people (such as avoiding having unprotected sexual intercourse or sharing needles or personal items like toothbrushes, razors, etc with other people). ABEC L is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women. The most common side effects of taking ABEC L are difficulty in sleeping, increased signs of infections, nausea, stomach pain, headache, or dizziness. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects worsen. Also, inform your doctor immediately if you experience severe fever with extreme tiredness, sudden changes in body weight, or severe stomach pain along with dark urine after taking ABEC L.
