Description:
Zidovir 300mg Tablet is an antiretroviral medication used in the treatment of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. It contains Zidovudine, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), which helps reduce the amount of HIV in the body by inhibiting viral replication. Zidovir is used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) to improve immune function and delay the progression of HIV-related illness.
Therapeutic Use:

Administered in combination with other antiretroviral agents as part of a complete ART regimen
Mechanism of Action:
Zidovudine interferes with the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase, blocking the conversion of viral RNA into DNA. This inhibits the replication of the virus and lowers the viral load in the bloodstream.

Note:
Zidovir 300mg Tablet is not a cure for HIV/AIDS, but it plays a crucial role in controlling the infection when taken regularly as prescribed. It should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, with regular monitoring of blood counts and liver function.
