TRIZIVIR is indicated in combination with other antiretrovirals or alone for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Additional important information on the use of TRIZIVIR for treatment of HIV-1 infection: TRIZIVIR is one of multiple products containing abacavir.
Before starting TRIZIVIR, review medical history for prior exposure to any abacavir-containing product in order to avoid reintroduction in a patient with a history of hypersensitivity to abacavir.Limited data exist on the use of TRIZIVIR alone in patients with higher baseline viral load levels (>100,000 copies/mL, see Description of Clinical Studies).TRIZIVIR Tablets are contraindicated in patients with previously demonstrated hypersensitivity to abacavir or to any other component of the product (see WARNINGS).
Following a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir, NEVER restart TRIZIVIR or any other abacavir-containing product.
Fatal rechallenge reactions have been associated with readministration of abacavir to patients with a prior history of a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS). TRIZIVIR Tablets are contraindicated in patients with hepatic impairment (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).
