What should I avoid while taking VIREAD?
Do not breast-feed. See “What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking VIREAD?”
What are the possible side effects of VIREAD?
Clinical studies in patients with HIV-1: The most common side effects of VIREAD are: rash, diarrhea, headache, pain, depression, weakness, and nausea. Less common side effects include vomiting, dizziness, and intestinal gas.
Clinical studies in patients with chronic hepatitis B: The most common side effect of VIREAD is nausea. Less common side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, nasopharyngitis, back pain, and skin rash.
Marketing experience: Other side effects reported since VIREAD has been marketed include: allergic reaction, low blood phosphate, shortness of breath, increased liver enzymes, increased amylase, inflammation of the liver, stomach pain, inflammation of the pancreas, rash, and weakness.
Some patients treated with VIREAD have had kidney problems. If you have had kidney problems in the past or need to take another drug that can cause kidney problems, your healthcare provider may need to perform additional blood tests. Kidney problems may be associated with muscle problems and softening of the bones.
Laboratory tests show changes in the bones of patients treated with VIREAD. It is not known whether long-term use of VIREAD will cause damage to your bones. If you have had bone problems in the past, your healthcare provider may need to perform additional tests or may suggest additional medication.
Some patients taking antiviral drugs like VIREAD have developed a condition called lactic acidosis (a buildup in the blood of lactic acid, the same substance that causes your muscles to burn during heavy exercise). Symptoms of lactic acidosis include nausea, vomiting, unusual or unexpected stomach discomfort, and weakness. If you notice these symptoms or if your medical condition changes suddenly, call your healthcare provider right away.
Changes in body fat have been seen in some patients taking anti-HIV-1 medicine. These changes may include increased amount of fat in the upper back and neck (“buffalo hump”), breast, and around the main part of your body (trunk). Loss of fat from the legs, arms and face may also happen. The cause and long term health effects of these conditions are not known at this time.
If you have HBV infection or HIV and HBV infection together, you may have a “flare-up” of Hepatitis B, in which the disease suddenly returns in a worse way than before if you stop taking VIREAD. Do not stop taking VIREAD without your doctor’s advice. After stopping VIREAD, tell your doctor immediately about any new, unusual, or worsening symptoms that you notice after stopping treatment. After you stop taking VIREAD, your doctor will still need to check your health and take blood tests to check your liver for several months.
There have been other side effects in patients taking VIREAD. However, these side effects may have been due to other medicines that patients were taking or to the illness itself. Some of these side effects can be serious.
This list of side effects is not complete. If you have questions about side effects, ask your healthcare provider. You should report any new or continuing symptoms to your healthcare provider right away. Your healthcare provider may be able to help you manage these side effects.
