How it works?

01

Blocks Reverse Transcriptase

Abacavir inhibits the reverse transcriptase enzyme HIV-1 needs to copy its genetic material, stopping the virus from multiplying.

02

Reduces HIV Viral Load

By halting viral replication, Abavir lowers the amount of HIV-1 in the bloodstream over time.

03

Supports Immune Recovery

A lower viral load lets CD4 cells recover, strengthening immunity and reducing the risk of opportunistic infections.

How to take?

1
Take one Abavir Tablet (Abacavir 300mg) twice daily, or exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
2
It can be taken with or without food; swallow the tablet whole with water — do not crush or chew it.
3
Take Abavir at the same times each day to maintain steady drug levels and support ART adherence.
4
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember; if it is close to the next dose, skip it — never double up.
5
Get an HLA-B*5701 test before starting, and never restart Abavir after a suspected hypersensitivity reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Abavir Tablet used for?

Abavir Tablet is used to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents as part of combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). It contains Abacavir 300mg — a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) — which helps suppress HIV-1 viral load and improve CD4 cell count when taken with other HIV medicines.

What is the recommended dosage of Abavir Tablet?

The usual dose is one Abavir Tablet (Abacavir 300mg) taken twice daily, or as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage — never skip doses, as this increases the risk of HIV-1 drug resistance.

Can Abavir Tablet cure HIV?

No. Abavir Tablet does not cure HIV infection. It helps control HIV-1 viral load, improves CD4 cell count, and prevents the disease from progressing to AIDS — but must be taken continuously as prescribed by your doctor.

Why is HLA-B*5701 testing needed before taking Abavir Tablet?

Abacavir can cause a serious, potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction in people who carry the HLA-B*5701 gene. A simple genetic test before starting Abavir identifies this risk — if you test positive, your doctor will avoid abacavir. Never restart Abavir after a suspected hypersensitivity reaction, as this can be fatal.

Does Abavir Tablet interact with other medicines?

Yes. Abavir can interact with several medicines, including other abacavir-containing HIV medicines, methadone, ribavirin or interferon used for hepatitis C, and high alcohol intake which increases abacavir exposure and liver strain. Always inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you take before starting Abavir.

How long does Abavir Tablet take to work?

Abavir starts working soon after treatment begins. A measurable drop in HIV-1 viral load is usually seen within 4–8 weeks, with significant CD4 cell count improvement over 3–6 months of consistent daily use. Regular viral load and CD4 monitoring confirms treatment effectiveness.

Can Abavir Tablet affect heart or cardiovascular health?

Some studies have linked abacavir to a possible increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, particularly in patients with existing risk factors. Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. A healthy lifestyle and regular check-ups help manage this risk.

Is Abavir Tablet safe for liver or kidney disease patients?

Abavir should be used with caution in patients with liver disease, and dose adjustment or avoidance may be needed in moderate-to-severe liver impairment. Limited data is available for kidney disease. Regular liver and kidney function monitoring is recommended. Consult your doctor for guidance based on your condition.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Abavir Tablet?

If you miss a dose of Abavir Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose, as consistent treatment is important for HIV management.

Who should avoid taking Abavir Tablet?

Abavir Tablet should not be taken by people who carry the HLA-B*5701 gene, those who have had a previous hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir, or those allergic to any ingredient in the tablet. It should be used with caution in moderate-to-severe liver disease. Always share your complete medical history and genetic test results with your doctor before starting treatment.
