Prezista Information
Prezista is one among the many drugs used in the treatment of HIV infection to resist the effects of the HIV infection. It is an antiviral drug classified under a group of drugs called protease inhibitors. The medicine is used along with some other drugs like ritonavir to increase the body's resistance and fight the infections. Prezista inhibits the multiplication of the viruses in the body by disrupting the formation of virus particles. It is a prescription drug. You can buy cheap Prezista in the drug market or order online and get it overnight.
Prezista Side Effects and Precautions
Darunavir produces certain side effects like diarrhea, headache, nasopharyngitis and nausea. It is a sulfa based drug. Hence, patients who do not respond to sulfa drugs will not benefit from this drug also. Some dangerous skin infections may occur and need to be treated. Moderate to severe liver disease may get even worse on taking Darunavir but those with mild or moderate degree of liver disease respond well to treatment. Hence, liver function tests are to be performed before initiating treatment. Once the drug starts acting, older symptoms may reappear. When it occurs with herpes zoster or tuberculosis, it needs special care. If you have conditions like diabetes or bleeding disorders like hemophilia, high cholesterol or triglyceride levels, etc let your doctor know before you buy Prezista. Also let him know if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Another precaution is that you may pass on the virus to other people even though you are taking Prezista. Do not share razors, toothbrushes, needles etc and always have protected sex.
