FORSTAVIR 3 TABLET 30'S belongs to the class of medicines called ‘antiretroviral agents’ used to treat HIV infection. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune cells of the body leading to decreased immunity. It spreads through body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluid, and blood. Symptoms include fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, tiredness, and sore throat that usually last for days to several weeks.
FORSTAVIR 3 TABLET 30'S contains Efavirenz, Emtricitabine, and Tenofovir. Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, whereas Emtricitabine and Tenofovir are nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors. They work by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme production, which the HIV-infected cells must make to make new viruses. This effect helps to inhibit viral replication.
You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of FORSTAVIR 3 TABLET 30'S are dizziness, headache, diarrhea, feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting), rashes (red spots or blotches sometimes with blistering and swelling of the skin), and feeling weak.

FORSTAVIR 3 TABLET 30'S should be used with caution in patients with mental illness, fits, liver diseases, FORSTAVIR 3 TABLET 30'S may decrease phosphate levels in the blood.

FORSTAVIR 3 TABLET 30'S show signs of infection or inflammation from the previous infection when the treatment has started in some patients with advanced HIV infection and history of opportunistic infection. So, if you notice any signs of infection, inform your doctor immediately. Autoimmune diseases (immune cells attack healthy body tissue) may occur months after the start of the treatment. Inform your doctor if you notice any signs such as muscle weakness, weakness in the hands and the feet, palpitations (pounding heart), and tremors. FORSTAVIR 3 TABLET 30'S may cause osteonecrosis (death of bone tissue due to a decrease in blood supply to the bone) in some patients. The risk of this disease depends on factors such as length of antiretroviral therapy, alcohol use, steroid use, body mass index (BMI), and immunity. Inform your doctor if you notice joint pain, stiffness, and difficulty in movement, as these symptoms may indicate osteonecrosis.

People with HIV experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, tiredness, and sore throat. These symptoms usually last for days to several weeks. It spreads through body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluid, and blood. If left untreated, this condition can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). It is a life-long condition, and there is no definite cure for it. However, it can be controlled by treating with antiretroviral agents.
