What is Intelence and what is it used for:
Intelence is a prescription medication used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adults and children who are at least 6 years old and weigh at least 16 kg (35 pounds). Intelence belongs to a class of drugs called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). This medication works by preventing the HIV virus from multiplying in the body and lowering the amount of HIV in the blood.
How to take Intelence:
Intelence is taken orally, usually twice a day with food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to take the medication at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in the body.
Possible side effects of Intelence:
Intelence may cause some side effects, including:
• Rash
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Abdominal pain
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Insomnia
These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Intelence:
Before taking Intelence, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver problems or a history of allergy to NNRTIs. Intelence may interact with certain medications, so it is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Intelence may cause changes in the levels of certain liver enzymes, so your doctor may monitor your liver function during treatment. Intelence may also cause a decrease in bone mineral density, which can lead to osteoporosis or fractures. Your doctor may monitor your bone density during treatment.
Intelence is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy. HIV can be passed to a baby if the mother is not properly treated during pregnancy. Women with HIV should not breastfeed their babies because the virus can be passed through breast milk.
