How to take Stavudine Capsules 30 mg 4. Possible side effects 5. How to store Stavudine Capsules 30 mg 6. Further information 1. WHAT STAVUDINE CAPSULES 30 MG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Stavudine Capsules 30 mg belongs to a group of antiviral medicines, also known as antiretrovirals, called nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). These are used to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Stavudine Capsules 30 mg is used in antiretroviral combination therapy for the treatment of HIV infection. Stavudine Capsules 30 mg reduces the amount of HIV virus in your body and keeps it at a low level. It also increases CD4 cell counts. CD4 cells are a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in maintaining a healthy immune system to help fight infection. Response to treatment with Stavudine Capsules 30 mg varies between patients. Your doctor or health care provider will be monitoring the effectiveness of your treatment. 2. BEFORE YOU TAKE STAVUDINE CAPSULES 30 MG Do not take Stavudine Capsules 30 mg if: You are allergic (hypersensitive) to stavudine or any of the other ingredients of Stavudine Capsules 30 mg (see: What Stavudine Capsules 30 mg contains). Take special care with Stavudine Capsules 30 mg It is important that your doctor or health care provider knows about all your symptoms even when you think they are not related to HIV infection. Before using this medicine, you should have told your doctor or health care provider: if you suffer from kidney disease or liver disease (such as hepatitis), if you have had peripheral neuropathy (persistent tingling or numbness or pain in the feet and/or hands) if you have suffered from pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) if you have diabetes. * Trade names are not prequalified by WHO. This is under local DRA responsibility. Throughout this WHOPAR the proprietary name is given as an example only. Page 2 of 8
3 Lactic acidosis Females, particularly if very overweight, and patients with liver disease may be more at risk of getting a rare, but serious side effect called lactic acidosis, a build up of lactic acid in the body. If lactic acidosis occurs, it usually develops after a few months of treatment. Deep rapid breathing, drowsiness, and non specific symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and stomach pain, might indicate the development of this condition (see section 4). Your doctor or health care provider will monitor you for any signs that you may be developing lactic acidosis, while you are being treated with Stavudine Capsules 30 mg. Fat distribution Redistribution, accumulation or loss of body fat may occur in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy. Some NRTIs, such as stavudine, have been associated with a loss of body fat (lipoatrophy). Contact your doctor or health care provider if you notice loss of fat from legs, arms and face, increased fat in the belly (abdomen), breast enlargement and fatty lumps on the back of the neck ('buffalo hump'). Peripheral neuropathy Stavudine Capsules 30 mg may cause peripheral neuropathy and paraesthesia, a persistent numbness, tingling or pain in the feet and / or hands and or muscle weakness. Please inform your doctor or health care provider as soon as possible when you notice any of these signs. Pancreatitis Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) has been reported in some patients taking stavudine (see Undesirable effects ). Your doctor or health care provider will monitor you for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis. Liver disease/hepatitis Please talk to your doctor or health care provider if you have a history of liver disease. Patients with chronic hepatitis B or C and treated with antiretroviral agents are at increased risk for severe and potentially fatal liver adverse events and may require blood tests for control of liver function. Immune Reactivation Syndrom In some patients with advanced HIV infection (AIDS) and a history of opportunistic infection, signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-hiv treatment is started. It is believed that these symptoms are due to an improvement in the body's immune response, enabling the body to fight infections that may have been present with no obvious symptoms. If you notice any symptoms of infection, please inform your doctor or health care provider immediately. Bone problems Some patients taking combination antiretroviral therapy may develop a bone disease called osteonecrosis (death of bone tissue) Your risk of developing this disease may be higher - if your immune system is severely compromised - if you have been taken combination antiretroviral therapy for a long time - if you drink alcohol regularly - if you use corticosteroids (certain medicines suppressing your immune system) - if you are overweight If you notice joint stiffness, aches and pains (especially of the hip, knee and shoulder) and difficulty in movement, inform your doctor or health care provider.

4 General You will need to take Stavudine Capsules 30 mg every day. This medicine helps to control your condition, but it is not a cure for HIV infection. You may continue to develop other infections and other illnesses associated with HIV disease. You should keep in regular contact with your doctor or health care provider. Do not stop taking your medicine without first talking to your doctor or health care provider. Treatment with Stavudine Capsules 30 mg has not been shown to eliminate the risk of passing HIV infection on to others by sexual contact or by blood transfer. You should continue to use appropriate precautions to prevent this. Taking other medicines Please tell your doctor, health care provider or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. These may affect the action of Stavudine Capsules 30 mg or Stavudine Capsules 30 mg may affect their action. Stavudine Capsules 30 mg should not be taken with zidovudine, didanosine or ribavirin (other antivirals). Stavudine Capsules 30 mg may also interact with doxorubicin, an anticancer medicine and hydroxyurea.

Pregnancy If you become pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, you must contact your doctor or health care provider to discuss the potential adverse effects and the benefits and risks of your antiretroviral therapy to you and your child. Be sure to tell your doctor immediately if you are or may be pregnant. Breastfeeding Stavudine is probably excreted into breast milk. If you want to breastfeed your baby you should ask a doctor or healthcare provider for advice on the risks and benefits.

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten individual doses. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or health care provider or pharmacist. 4. POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS Like all medicines, Stavudine Capsules 30 mg can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. When treating HIV infection, it is not always possible to differentiate between unwanted effects caused by Stavudine Capsules 30 mg, or those caused by any other medicines you may be taking at the same time, or by the HIV disease. For this reason, it is important that you inform your doctor or health care provider of any change in your health. Short-term adverse reactions to combination antiretroviral therapy are common. After you start taking Stavudine Capsules 30 mg short lasting reactions like pain in upper abdomen, nausea, diarrhoea and headache may occur; these reactions are usually mild and disappear within a few weeks. Common long-term side effects include neuropathy, changes in fat distribution and metabolic abnormalities. Page 5 of 8
