About RICOVIR L TABLET
RICOVIR L TABLET belongs to a group of antiretroviral medicines used to treat HIV infection. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system and destroys the white blood cells that help in fighting infection, making the individual susceptible to other infections or illnesses.
RICOVIR L TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Lamivudine and Tenofovir disoproxil. Lamivudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, whereas Tenofovir disoproxil is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. RICOVIR L TABLET works by interfering with the working of nucleotide and nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzymes which are necessary for the reproduction of the virus. Together, RICOVIR L TABLET helps in treating HIV infection.
You are advised to take RICOVIR L TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, weakness, and rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Practise safe sex and other necessary precautions as RICOVIR L TABLET does not prevent the spread of HIV infection. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Avoid breastfeeding while taking RICOVIR L TABLET. RICOVIR L TABLET may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. RICOVIR L TABLET is not recommended for children below 18 years. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to prevent any side effects/interactions.

RICOVIR L TABLET might cause lactic acidosis (excess of lactic acid in the blood), a rare but severe side effect, especially in women who are obese and people with liver disease. Consult a doctor immediately if you experience stomach pain, vomiting, nausea, drowsiness, and deep rapid breathing, as these could be the signs of lactic acidosis.
RICOVIR L TABLET does not cure HIV infection. You may still develop other illnesses and infections associated with HIV infection. Take necessary precautions, as you can pass on HIV to others.
RICOVIR L TABLET may cause bone problems such as osteonecrosis (death of bone tissue due to loss of blood supply to the bone). Regular bone density test is advised while taking RICOVIR L TABLET. For good bone health, take calcium and vitamin D supplements as told by the doctor. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience aches, pain, joint stiffness, and difficulty in movement, as these could be signs of osteonecrosis.
Even though the risk of infecting others is lowered by RICOVIR L TABLET, you can still pass on HIV while taking it. Therefore, it is important to take necessary precautions to avoid infecting others.

Disease/Condition Glossary
HIV infection: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system and destroys the white blood cells that help in fighting infection, making the individual susceptible to other infections or illnesses. 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 it with antiretroviral drugs.
