Product description
Common use
Ziagen is an antiviral medicine that prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from multiplying in your body. Ziagen is used to treat HIV, the virus that can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Ziagen is for adults and children who are at least 3 months old.
Dosage and direction
Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed. Ziagen can be taken with or without food. Use all HIV medications as directed and read all medication guides you receive. Do not change your dose or dosing schedule without your doctor's advice.
Precautions
Tell your doctor if you have ever had: heart disease, high blood pressure; a risk factor for heart disease such as smoking, diabetes, or high cholesterol; liver disease; or if you have used any other HIV medication in the past.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, and use your medications properly to control your infection. HIV can be passed to your baby if the virus is not controlled during pregnancy. Women with HIV or AIDS should not breastfeed a baby. Even if your baby is born without HIV, the virus may be passed to the baby in your breast milk.

You should not use Ziagen if: you have moderate or severe liver disease; you have a gene variation called HLA-B*5701 allele (your doctor will test you for this); or you have had an allergic reaction to any medicine that contains Ziagen (such as Ziagen, Epzicom, Triumeq, or Trizivir).
Many combination HIV medicines have Ziagen as an ingredient. Ziagen should not be taken together with any other medicine that contains this medicine.
