What is the most important information I should know about Retrovir? �Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, a pancreas disorder, or problems with your muscles. �Retrovir can lower the blood cells in your body that help you fight infections. This can make it easier for you to bleed from an injury or get sick from being around others who are ill. To be sure your blood cells do not get too low, your blood will need to be tested on a regular basis. It is important that you not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor. �Call your doctor at once if you have liver problems while you are using Retrovir. Symptoms to watch for include stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, low fever, lost appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). �Call your doctor at once if you have muscle pain or weakness, numbness or tingling in any part of your body, and nausea with vomiting. These could be signs of lactic acidosis.

Tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment. �It is not known whether Retrovir passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Women with HIV or AIDS should not breast-feed. Even if your baby is born without HIV, you may still pass the virus to the baby in your breast milk.
How should I take Retrovir? �Take Retrovir exactly as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Do not use more of the medication than recommended. Do not take Retrovir for longer than your doctor has prescribed. �Retrovir tablets, capsules, or syrup can be taken with or without food. �To be sure you get the correct dose of Retrovir syrup, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. �Retrovir IV (intravenous) is given as an injection into a vein. The medicine must be injected slowly and is usually given 5 to 6 times daily. Your IV needle may be left in place during the entire time you are receiving this medicine by injection.

To best treat your condition, use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor. Every person with HIV or AIDS should remain under the care of a doctor. �Retrovir can lower the blood cells in your body that help you fight infections. This can make it easier for you to bleed from an injury or get sick from being around others who are ill.

After mixing the medication, you may store it at room temperature or in a refrigerator. Use the mixture within 8 hours if it is kept at room temperature, or within 24 hours if refrigerated.
What happens if I miss a dose? �Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose? �Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. �Symptoms of a Retrovir overdose may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, confusion, and seizures.
What should I avoid while taking Retrovir? �Avoid having unprotected sex or sharing needles, razors, or toothbrushes. Taking this medication will not keep you from passing HIV to other people. Talk with your doctor about safe methods of preventing HIV transmission during sex, such as using a condom and spermicide. Sharing drug or medicine needles is never safe, even for a healthy person.
