About A BEC Tablet 1's

A BEC Tablet 1's belongs to a group of anti-retroviral medicines indicated for the treatment of HIV infection. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system and destroys the white blood cells that help in fighting infection, making the individual susceptible to other infections or illnesses.
 
A BEC Tablet 1's contains ‘Abacavir’, which works by decreasing the amount of HIV in the blood. It also increases the count of CD4 cells, a type of white blood cell that helps the body to fight infections.
 
In some cases, A BEC Tablet 1's may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, and tiredness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
A BEC Tablet 1's does not prevent the spread of HIV infection; hence, practise safe sex and other necessary precautions. A BEC Tablet 1's is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to prevent side effects/interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary

HIV infection: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system and destroys the white blood cells that help in fighting infection, making the individual susceptible to other infections or illnesses. People with HIV experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, tiredness, and sore throat. These symptoms usually last for days to several weeks. It spreads through body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluid, and blood. If left untreated, this condition can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). It is a life-long condition, and there is no definite cure for it. However, it can be controlled by treating it with anti-retroviral drugs.
