Inbec Tablet
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Inbec Tablet is a combination of three antiviral medicines. It is used in the treatment of HIV infection. Inbec Tablet is not a cure for HIV or AIDS but helps to decrease the amount of virus in your body. This helps to lower your risk of getting HIV-related complications and improves your lifespan.
Inbec Tablet is usually prescribed in combination with other HIV medicines. Your doctor will recommend the best medicines for you and will decide the doses that you need. Follow the instructions carefully, for all the medicines that you are given. It may be taken with or without food, preferably at a fixed time. Taking all these medicines regularly at the right times greatly increases their effectiveness and reduces the chances of HIV becoming resistant to them. It is important not to miss doses and to keep taking them until your doctor tells you it is safe to stop.
Some of the common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, stomach pain, diarrhea, and rash. These are usually not serious but tell your doctor if they bother you or persist for a longer duration. Rarely, some people may experience a skin reaction or liver damage. Your doctor will closely monitor you for these in the initial period of treatment.
Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have any skin problems or liver or kidney disease. While using it, you may need regular blood tests to check your blood counts and liver function. Avoid drinking alcohol as it may increase your risk of liver damage. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Do not have unprotected sex or share personal items like razors or toothbrushes, if you are HIV positive. Talk to your doctor about safe ways like condoms to prevent HIV transmission during sex.
