How Generic Videx Works

Generic Videx helps control HIV by interfering with the virus’s ability to replicate inside immune cells. By acting as a faulty building block during viral DNA synthesis, it stops the virus from multiplying effectively.

Although Videx does not cure HIV, consistent use with other antiretroviral medicines lowers viral load and helps preserve immune function. Due to safety concerns, it is now used less frequently and only when alternatives are unsuitable.

FAQ

1. What is Didanosine (Videx) and what is it used for?
Didanosine is a medical drug available to us under the brand name Videx which belongs to a class of medication called NRTI(Nucleoside analog Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor). This medicine is used as a combination with other medical agents to treat HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome) by reducing the amount of HIV in the blood so that the immune system can work properly.

2. When and how to use Didanosine?
Didanosine is available to us in a form of pill that must be taken by mouth without food usually 1-2 hours before or after the meal. It must be taken once a day daily. The dosage and length of the treatment is based on your medical condition and its response to the treatment. For children, it is also based on their body weight. Your doctor may start you with a low dose which will increase gradually. Swallow the tablet whole rather than chewing or crushing it in your mouth as it may release all the drug in your mouth which increases the risk of side effects. Take the medicine daily at the same time to get the most benefits from it. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed as this may also increase the risk of side effects without any improvement in your condition. Discuss all the other medicines that you might be taking along with Abacavir sulphate for the same or different reasons. Follow the medical prescription carefully and inform your doctor in case of any exception or confusion.
