Abacavir (ABC) is an antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.drugs.com/monograph/abacavir-sulfate.html )〕 It is of the nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) type. Viral strains that are resistant to zidovudine (AZT) or lamivudine (3TC) are generally, but not always, sensitive to abacavir. It is well tolerated: the main side effect is hypersensitivity, which can be severe, and in rare cases, fatal. Genetic testing can indicate whether an individual is likely to be hypersensitive; over 90% of people can safely take abacavir. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system. It is available under the trade name Ziagen and in the combination formulations abacavir/lamivudine/zidovudine, abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine, abacavir/lamivudine. == Medical uses == Abacavir tablets and oral solution, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, are indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Abacavir should always be used in combination with other antiretroviral agents. Abacavir should not be added as a single agent when antiretroviral regimens are changed due to loss of virologic response. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「abacavir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
