What is Sustiva?

Sustiva contains the prescription medicine efavirenz, which is classed as an antiviral medication. Sustiva is used for the treatment of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV is the virus that can cause AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

Sustiva is used in combination with other antiretroviral medicines for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in adults and children who are at least 3 months old and weigh at least 3.5 kg (8 pounds). Sustiva is not, however, a cure for HIV or AIDS.

Sustiva can cause serious psychiatric symptoms such as confusion, severe depression, suicidal thoughts, aggression, extreme fear, hallucinations, or unusual behavior. You should speak to your doctor if you have any of these side effects. Efavirenz can harm an unborn baby, and you must inform your doctor if you are pregnant or become pregnant during treatment.

Sustiva active ingredients

Efavirenz is an NNRTI (non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor) of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. In English, this means efavirenz blocks the action of the enzyme known as reverse transcriptase and stops HIV DNA from being made in the body.

Sustiva must be taken in combination with other antiviral medications and should not be used alone. There is a risk that your disease could become resistant to efavirenz if you take it on its own.

Sustiva must be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor at bedtime on an empty stomach. The tablet must be taken whole and not crushed, chewed, or broken. Doses of efavirenz for children are based on their weight and may need to be altered if their weight changes. You will need regular checks while taking this medicine.

Sustiva side effects

The most common side effects caused by Sustiva include:

• Nausea, vomiting
• Drowsiness, feeling dizzy or light-headed, difficulty concentrating, headache, tiredness
• Problems sleeping, unusual dreams
• Changes in the shape or location of fat in your body

In rare instances, Sustiva can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

• Changes in behavior, anxiety, paranoia, depression, feeling suicidal
• Stomach pain, loss of appetite, dark urine and stools, yellow color of the skin or eyes
• Fever, night sweats, swollen glands, cold sores, cough, wheezing, weight loss, diarrhea
• Problems with balance or eye movement, weakness, or prickly feeling
• Swollen neck or throat

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Sustiva against your risk of side effects.
