| | Safety and tolerability of Zidovudine |
| | The indication for Zidovudine in these study subjects was therapy of HIV infection and not MTCT prevention. | | | The bulk of the literature on clinical tolerability of Zidovudine originates from studies in industrialised countries where the experience in its therapeutic use is much broader. | | | Zidovudine, for the indication of prevention of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV infection, is included in the 1998 World Health Organisation's Model List of Essential Drugs. |

| | Zidovudine (Retrovir, azidothymidine, AZT) |
| | Zidovudine should be considered in choosing therapy for individuals experiencing viral recurrence on prior regimens, but resistance testing may be helpful in assessing the utility of zidovudine in the individual situation. | | | Whether zidovudine or stavudine is preferable in initial versus subsequent therapy is not known. | | | In addition, the combination of zidovudine + lamivudine or emtricitabine is recommended as a nucleoside backbone of choice for use in combination therapy. |

| | The zidovudine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/plasma concentration ratio was determined in 39 patients receiving chronic therapy with Retrovir. | | | Microbiology: The relationship between in vitro susceptibility of HIV to zidovudine and the inhibition of HIV replication in humans or clinical response to therapy has not been established. | | | Methadone: In a pharmacokinetic study of nine HIV-positive patients receiving methadone-maintenance (30 to 90 mg daily) concurrent with 200 mg of Retrovir every 4 hours, no changes were observed in the pharmacokinetics of methadone upon initiation of therapy with Retrovir and after 14 days of treatment with Retrovir. |

| | AEGiS-RITA!: NRTI: ZIDOVUDINE (Retrovir) - March 2000 |
| | Zidovudine therapy is the current standard in preventing vertical transmission (mother to child) of HIV. | | | Special care should be taken when administering the drug to patients with advanced HIV disease or other conditions characterized by anemia or neutropenia. | | | In a study of pregnant women, ACTG 076, the estimated risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV was less than 8% in zidovudine-treated infants (antenatal, perinatal, and neonatal drug administration) versus almost 25% in the placebo group. |

| | However, if the infected mother is treated with medication such as zidovudine (AZT) during pregnancy, the transmission rate is slashed by as much as two-thirds. | | | This means that instead of 30-50% of mothers with HIV/AIDS transmitting the virus to their newborns, treatment can decrease transmission to less than an 8% risk. | | | Children can contract HIV/AIDS in utero from an infected mother and can also contract the disease after birth through the mother's breast milk. |
