| More Details |
The first edition of A pocket guide of the prevention and management of
Side Effects and Drug Interactions in South Africa provides an easy and
quick reference to assist the prescribers and those responsible for clinical
management of HIV and AIDS on the effective management of side
effects and drug interactions that are most common.
This is an evolving area, and as new information becomes available about
drug interactions between different medicines and antiretroviral drugs, as
well as safety information from the pharmacovigilance programmes,
further updates on a regular basis will be published. The
Pharmacovigilance programme is aimed specifically at collecting data
from local settings where antiretroviral therapy will be used.
This text gives an outline of side effects, dosage regimen, and treatment
for adverse drug reactions in algorithms that are easy to follow. This
reference must be read taking cognizance of the published National
Antiretroviral Treatment Guidelines. |
