Precautions for EFAVIR 200MG CAP and its Constituents


Efavirenz must be given in combination with other antiviral medications and it should not be used alone. Your disease may become resistant to efavirenz if you do not take it in combination with other HIV medicines your doctor has prescribed. Take efavirenz on an empty stomach at bedtime. To make swallowing easier, you may open an efavirenz capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of applesauce, yogurt, or grape jelly. You may also mix the medicine with infant formula if you are giving the medicine to a baby. Swallow the mixture right away. Do not save it for later use. After taking efavirenz using the sprinkle method, do not eat for the next 2 hours. Efavirenz mixed with infant formula should be given to the baby right away. But do not feed the baby any more formula for at least 2 hours afterward. Efavirenz comes with instructions for mixing the capsule contents with soft food or infant formula. Follow these directions carefully. Do not crush, chew, or break an efavirenz tablet. Swallow it whole with liquid. Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of efavirenz. Taking this medication will not prevent you from passing HIV to other people. Do not have unprotected sex or share razors or toothbrushes. Talk with your doctor about safe ways to prevent HIV transmission during sex. Sharing drug or medicine needles is never safe, even for a healthy person.
