 Recent reports indicate that severe or fatal hypersensitivity reactions can occur within hours after ZIAGEN reintroduction in patients who have no identified history or unrecognized symptoms of hypersensitivity to abacavir therapy. In these reports:Most of these hypersensitivity reactions were indistinguishable from hypersensitivity reactions associated with abacavir rechalle... January 01 1970 01:00:00.

 Excessive alcohol increases abacavir levels and may increase side effects. People with moderate to severe cirrhosis should use abacavir with caution.This is a potent NRTI, but the potential hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) does warrant the U.S. HIV treatment guidelines not recommending Ziagen as first-line treatment. It is important to remember that HSR occurs in 58% of people... March 25 2008 10:27:03.

 It is recommended that people starting abacavir be monitored very closely for the first two months of therapy, with consultation every two weeks. If a person who has recently started abacavir develops at least two symptoms associated with hypersensitivity, abacavir should be discontinued as soon as a doctor has made a formal diagnosis. Abacavir should not be stopped in the ab... March 25 2008 10:27:03.
