Atazanavir Accord is an antiviral (or antiretroviral ) medicine. <\/strong>It belongs to a group called protease inhibitors, which control human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Infektionen by blocking a protein that HIV – virus et require to multiply. They work by reducing the number of HIV – the virus in the blood and this, in turn, strengthens your immune system. In this way, Atazanavir Accord reduces the risk of developing HIV-related diseases. Atazanavir Accord capsules can be used by adults and children 6 years and older. Your doctor has prescribed Atazanavir Accord for you because you are infected with HIV which may cause Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome ( AIDS ).

Your doctor will discuss with you which <\/p>\n\n\n\n combinations of these medicines which together with Atazanavir Accord are best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Atazanavir contained in the Atazanavir Accord may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.

You can continue to<\/p>\n\n\n\n develop infections or other diseases associated with HIV. You can <\/p>\n\n\n\n still transmit HIV infection when you take this medicine, although the risk is reduced with effective antiviral treatment. Discuss with your doctor the necessary steps to avoid infecting others. For some people, special consideration may need to be given before or when taking Atazanavir Accord. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Atazanavir Accord and make sure your doctor knows the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Atazanavir Accord may affect the way your kidneys function. Kidney stones have been reported in patients taking atazanavir. Inform your doctor <\/p>\n\n\n\n immediately if you develop signs and symptoms of kidney stones (pain in the side, <\/p>\n\n\n\n blood in the urine, pain when urinating). In some patients with advanced HIV – infection ( AIDS ) and a history of opportunistic infection, you ( the infection you incurred because the immune system is impaired), signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti- HIV started. These symptoms are probably due to an improvement in the body’s immune response, which enables the body to fight infections that may have been present without any obvious symptoms. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any symptoms of infection. except for <\/p>\n\n\n\n opportunistic infection, you can autoimmune disorders (a condition in which the immune system attacks healthy body tissue) may also occur after you start taking medicines to treat your HIV – infection. Autoimmune diseases can occur<\/p>\n\n\n\n several months after starting treatment. If you notice any symptoms of infection or other symptoms such as muscle weakness, weakness starting in the hands or<\/p>\n\n\n\n feet and moving towards the torso, palpitations, trembling or hyperactivity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inform your doctor immediately to get the necessary treatment. Some patients taking combination antiretroviral therapy may develop one <\/p>\n\n\n\n a bone disease called osteonecrosis (bone tissue dies due to lost blood supply to the bone).

Signs of osteonecrosis are stiffness in the joints and pain (especially in the hip, knee, and shoulders) and difficulty moving. Tell your doctor if you experience <\/p>\n\n\n\n some of these symptoms. Increased levels of bile dye in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia) have occurred in patients receiving atazanavir.
