Drug Information: Atazanavir
URL of this page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a603019.html
(at a za na' veer)Why is this medication prescribed?
Atazanavir is used in combination with other medications to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in patients with or without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Atazanavir is in a class of medications called HIV protease inhibitors. It works by preventing the spread of HIV in the body. Atazanavir does not cure HIV and may not prevent you from developing HIV related illnesses. Atazanavir does not prevent the spread of HIV to other people.
How should this medicine be used?
Atazanavir comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with a meal or snack. To help you remember to take atazanavir, take it at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take atazanavir exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
You will take other medications for HIV while you are taking atazanavir. Your doctor will tell you whether these medications should be taken at the same time as atazanavir, or several hours before or after you take atazanavir. Follow this schedule carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about the times you should take your medications.
Swallow the capsules whole; do not split, chew, or open them.
Atazanavir controls HIV but does not cure it. Continue to take atazanavir even if you feel well. Do not stop taking atazanavir without talking to your doctor. If you miss doses or stop taking atazanavir, your condition may become more difficult to treat.
Other uses for this medicine
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking atazanavir,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to atazanavir or any other medications.
- do not take atazanavir if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid), ergot alkaloids such as dihydroergotamine (Migranal, D.H.E. 45), ergonovine (Ergotrate), ergotamine (Cafergot, Ercaf, others), or methylergonovine (Methergine); midazolam (Versed); pimozide (Orap); and triazolam (Halcion).
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you are taking.
