What is Nevirapine ER?
Nevirapine ER is a generic extended-release prescription drug used to control HIV/AIDS due to HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV attacks the body's immune system. As the immune system deteriorates, patients become vulnerable to infections or cancers which, over time, will be fatal without treatment.
Nevirapine blocks the ability of HIV to make copies of its genetic material and so produce new virus particles. Reducing HIV-1 in the body allows the immune system to recover and better fight off both the HIV infection and any secondary infections or cancers.
Nevirapine ER is taken as a fixed-dose (400 mg) tablet once daily with or without food. Nevirapine ER is available as 100 mg tablets; four 100 mg tablets may be substituted for one 400 mg tablet. Before Nevirapine ER is started, the patient must take 200 mg of immediate-release nevirapine daily for 14 days.
What are the side effects of Nevirapine ER?
The most common side effects of Nevirapine ER are rash, diarrhea, headache, and abdominal pain. Nevirapine ER is toxic to the liver, so the most severe side effect of Nevirapine ER is liver damage and could be life-threatening. Approximately one in 20 patients will experience liver events when taking Nevirapine ER.
Allergic reactions are rare but can be severe, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. A severe or life-threatening rash can happen to one out of 100 patients. Discontinue Nevirapine ER if any allergic symptoms, such as rash, swelling, or trouble breathing, are experienced.
