Epoetin alfa
Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein produced in the kidney that stimulates red blood cell production. Epoetin alfa, a biosynthetic form of erythropoietin, is a hematopoietic agent that principally affects erythropoiesis. The drug is prepared from cultures of genetically modified mammalian cells using recombinant DNA technology. [#] (Source: Aids Info Drugs)

Azithromycin
is a semisynthetic azalide antibiotic, a subclass of macrolide antibiotics. Azalides are distinguished from other macrolides by the addition of nitrogen at position 9a of the lactone ring. Azithromycin differs structurally from erythromycin by a methyl-substituted nitrogen atom incorporated into the macrolide ring. [#] Azithromycin has a broader spectrum of activity than that of erythromycins or clarithromycin. [#] (Source: Aids Info Drugs)

Amphotericin B
is an amphoteric polyene macrolide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces nodosus. Amphotericin B, formulated with sodium desoxycholate, was the first parenteral amphotericin B preparation available commercially. Because amphotericin B desoxycholate is associated with certain dose-limiting toxicities (principally nephrotoxicity), other parenteral amphotericin B preparations have been developed with lipid-based drug delivery systems. Amphotericin B is now commercially available as amphotericin B cholestryl sulfate complex (Amphotec), amphotericin B lipid complex (Abelcet), and amphotericin B liposomal (AmBisome). [#] Liposom...

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
VIREAD® is the brand name for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (a prodrug of tenofovir) which is a fumaric acid salt of bis-isopropoxycarbonyloxymethyl ester derivative of tenofovir. In vivo tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is converted to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5’-monophosphate. Tenofovir exhibits activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
VIREAD tablets are for oral administration. Each tablet contains 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, which is equivalent to 245 mg of tenofovir disoproxil, and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, l...

Stavudine
, a synthetic antiretroviral agent, is a dideoxynucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. It is an analogue of thymidine, a naturally occurring pyrimidine nucleoside. It differs from thymidine in the 2'-3' double bond on the deoxyribose moiety and in the replacement of the 3'-hydroxyl group with hydrogen. The absence of a free 3'-hydroxyl group results in the inability of stavudine to form phosphodiester linkages at this position. [#] (Source: Aids Info Drugs)

Lamivudine/Zidovudine
Lamivudine/zidovudine is a fixed-dose combination tablet containing two synthetic nucleoside analogues: lamivudine and zidovudine. Each tablet contains 150 mg of lamivudine and 300 mg of zidovudine, each of which inhibits HIV-1 viral reverse transcriptase. [#] (Source: Aids Info Drugs)

Lamivudine
, a synthetic antiretroviral agent, is a dideoxynucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Lamivudine is the negative enantiomer of a dideoxy analogue of cytidine and is structurally similar to zalcitabine (2',3'-dideoxycytidine, ddC). Lamivudine differs structurally from zalcitabine in that the 3'-carbon of the ribose ring is replaced with sulfur, forming an oxathiolane ring. The absence of a free 3'-hydroxy group on the oxathiolane ring results in the inability of lamivudine to form phosphodiester linkages at this position. Both the positive and negative enantiomers of 2',3'-dideoxy,3'-thiacytidine exhibit antiviral act...
