Basic Information On Aptivus
Aptivus is used to mainly to reduce HIV infection in the body. It belongs to a class of drugs called protease inhibitors that prevent the virus from using certain enzymes to make more copies of itself. Though it prevents HIV from multiplying, it is not a cure nor does it reverse AIDS.
Precautions / Side Effects For Aptivus
Aptivus or Tipranavir can cause very serious side effects in those with liver problems like Hepatitis. Interactions of the Aptivus drug with medications for these conditions can produce hepatic or liver toxicity which can show symptoms like jaundice, anorexia, enlargement and swelling of the liver. These problems can be life threatening. Tipranvir can also cause Intracranial Hemorrhage or bleeding within the skull. This happens in individuals with other conditions in addition to AIDS. Bleeding within the skull can often be fatal if the pressure buildup compresses the brain. You should discuss all your medical problems with your doctor to avoid any side effect producing interactions.
Another major side effect associated with Aptivus is diabetes mellitus in patients with no history of the same. In individuals with an already existing diabetes condition, brand or generic Aptivus has been shown to make the condition worse by increasing blood sugar levels. Skin rashes are another side effect of Aptivus, along with symptoms like itching, joint ache and fever. Individuals who take Vitamin E supplements should reduce their dosage of Vitamin E as this drug contains Vitamin E. Talk to your doctor to re-adjust your dosage according to your needs. It is not known whether this HIV medication can harm unborn babies. Since HIV can be passed from mother to child, the use of brand or generic Aptivus is not advised, both for pregnant and breast feeding mothers.
