Zidovudine is an antiviral drug used to suppress the replication of the HIV virus for the treatment of AIDS.
MFDS ingredient code M082858
Zidovudine is an antiviral agent belonging to the nucleoside analog class, primarily used for the treatment of HIV infection. This ingredient works by hindering the replication of the virus's genetic material, thus reducing the spread of the infection.
Zidovudine blocks the enzymes required for the virus to replicate its own genetic material, thereby preventing viral proliferation. This helps to reduce the viral load in the body and slows down the decline of immune function.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike other antiretroviral drugs, Zidovudine primarily acts by targeting reverse transcriptase. This leads to specialized effects for HIV treatment, and it is often used in combination with other drugs when resistance occurs.
