brand name: Viramune
generic names: Nevirapine, Fosamprenavir calcium
Why is Viramune prescribed? Viramune is prescribed for advanced cases of HIV. HIV--the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS--undermines the immune system over a period of years, eventually leaving the body defenseless against infection. Viramune is generally prescribed only after the immune system has declined and infections have begun to appear. It is always taken with at least one other HIV medication such as Retrovir or Videx. If taken alone, it can cause the virus to become resistant. Even if used properly, it may be effective for only a limited time. Like other drugs for HIV, Viramune works by impairing the virus's ability to multiply.

Special warnings about Viramune Viramune has been known to cause serious--even fatal--liver damage, especially during the first 18 weeks of therapy. People with hepatitis B or C and women with a CD4+ cell count above 250 are more likely to develop this problem. Overall, women are at greater risk than men. If you already have moderate liver impairment, use Viramune with caution, if at all. Warning signs of liver damage include fatigue, dark urine, pale stools, yellowish skin or eyes, nausea, poor appetite, a vaguely ill feeling, and tenderness in the midriff. Check with your doctor immediately if you develop these symptoms. If liver damage has occurred, you'll have to permanently discontinue Viramune therapy. You should know that HIV medications also cause a redistribution of fat in some people, increasing the amount of fat found around the middle and on the upper back, and reducing the amount of fat in the arms, legs, and face. Remember that Viramune does not completely eliminate HIV from the body. The virus can still be passed to others during sex or through blood contamination. Though Viramune can slow the progress of HIV, it is not a cure. HIV-related infections remain a danger, so frequent check-ups and tests are still advisable.
