Ziagen is an oral medication used together with other antiviral medicines to treat patients who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It contains the active ingredient abacavir sulfate and can be taken orally in a liquid form. It is available in a concentration of 20 mg/ml and contains sorbitol as an inactive ingredient.
Abacavir belongs to a group of HIV medicines called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works by blocking reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that HIV needs to make more copies of itself in the body. By blocking reverse transcriptase, abacavir helps to reduce the amount of HIV in the body and slows down the progression of HIV disease.
Ziagen Solution is taken orally by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 1 or 2 times daily. If you are using the liquid form, you must use a specialized measuring device or spoon to carefully measure the dose. Do not use a household spoon, as it may result in an incorrect dosage.
To measure your dose of Ziagen oral solution accurately use the dosing syringe supplied as follows:
After use, the syringe and adapter must not be left in the bottle. They should be washed thoroughly in clean water. The quantity of medication you take is dependent on your medical condition and treatment response. However, in children, the dosage is calculated by weight.
If you have forgotten to take a dose of your medicine and it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to. Otherwise, take it as soon as you remember, then go back to taking it as you would normally. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose that you missed.
