Product Description
Nelfinavir mesylate is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as protease inhibitors (PIs). It is primarily used for the treatment of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. Nelfinavir is available in tablet form. Below is a full description of Nelfinavir mesylate tablets:
Generic Name: Nelfinavir mesylate
Brand Name: Viracept (This is one of the brand names; availability may vary by region)
Dosage Forms: Nelfinavir mesylate is available in tablet form. The tablets come in various strengths, typically 250 mg and 625 mg.
Active Ingredient: Nelfinavir mesylate
Indications: Nelfinavir mesylate is used for the treatment of HIV infection in adults and children. It is usually prescribed in combination with other antiretroviral medications as part of a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen.
Mechanism of Action: Nelfinavir mesylate is a protease inhibitor that works by inhibiting the action of HIV protease enzyme. HIV protease is essential for the production of mature, infectious HIV particles. By blocking this enzyme, Nelfinavir interferes with the replication of the virus, reducing the viral load in the body and slowing down the progression of HIV infection.
Dosage: The dosage of Nelfinavir mesylate varies depending on factors such as the patient’s age, weight, and individual response to the medication. It is usually taken orally with food, as food can enhance its absorption. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and dosing schedule for your specific situation.
Side Effects: Common side effects of Nelfinavir mesylate may include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and changes in taste. Other side effects can include lipid abnormalities, elevated liver enzymes, and skin rash. Some patients may experience more severe side effects, so it’s essential to report any unusual or severe symptoms to your healthcare provider.
Storage: Nelfinavir mesylate tablets should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep them out of the reach of children.
Drug Interactions: Nelfinavir mesylate can interact with other medications, including other HIV drugs and medications used for various health conditions. It’s crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs, supplements, and over-the-counter medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The use of Nelfinavir mesylate during pregnancy should be carefully considered, and the potential benefits should outweigh the risks. It is also present in breast milk, so breastfeeding while taking this medication should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Warnings: Nelfinavir mesylate is not a cure for HIV, and it does not prevent the transmission of HIV to others through sexual contact or blood contamination. Safe sex practices and the use of appropriate precautions are still necessary to prevent transmission.
Please note that the specifications and guidelines for Nelfinavir mesylate tablets may vary depending on the manufacturer and the region where the medication is obtained. Always consult with a healthcare professional or read the prescribing information provided with the medication for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding its use and administration.
