Viraday Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea
Headache and dizziness
Fatigue and insomnia
Skin rash and itching
Abnormal dreams: You might experience dreams that are unusual or different from your regular dreams.
Psychiatric symptoms: These can include feelings of anxiety, depression, or paranoia.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Viraday Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea: Try taking Viraday Tablet with light food to lessen these effects.
Insomnia: Consider taking this medicine at bedtime to reduce difficulty in sleeping.

Viraday Tablet is made up of three active ingredients:

Efavirenz (600 mg): As a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), efavirenz works by binding to and blocking the activity of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase enzyme. This prevents the conversion of viral RNA into DNA, which is a crucial step in the replication of HIV.
Emtricitabine (200 mg): This ingredient is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). After being phosphorylated within cells, emtricitabine competes with natural nucleosides and integrates into the growing viral DNA chain, resulting in chain termination.
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (300 mg): Similar to emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is also an NRTI. Post-phosphorylation, it incorporates itself into the viral DNA chain, causing termination.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Viraday Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's advisable to discuss with your doctor before starting Viraday Tablet to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

There's no interaction with alcohol, but it's always wise to check with your doctor about any potential risks before consuming alcohol while on this medication.

Liver

It is recommended to exercise caution while taking Viraday Tablet if you have a history of liver disease. This medicine may affect liver function. It's best to discuss any liver-related concerns with your doctor.

Kidney

Viraday Tablet should be used carefully if you have any kidney problems. Your doctor can guide you based on your health status and provide the best advice.

Using Machines & Driving

Viraday Tablet may cause dizziness or sleepiness, affecting your ability to drive or operate machinery. Ensure you know how this medicine affects you before undertaking such tasks.

Allergy

Viraday Tablet is contraindicated if you are allergic to any of its components. If you experience any allergic reactions such as skin rash or swelling, seek immediate medical attention.

Children

Viraday Tablet is prescribed for paediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg. It's important to always consult your doctor before giving this medication to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Viraday Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. It is particularly important for those above 70 years of age who might also have liver and kidney issues or might be on other medications. Your doctor will offer guidance based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Viraday Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Protease inhibitors: Viraday Tablet, especially due to its efavirenz component, can reduce the effectiveness of certain protease inhibitors such as lopinavir and saquinavir.
Antifungals: The efavirenz in Viraday Tablet can decrease the concentration of antifungals like voriconazole in your blood.
Anticonvulsants: The interaction of Viraday Tablet with anticonvulsants like carbamazepine and phenytoin may require dosage adjustments.
Opioid analgesics: The plasma concentration of methadone may be significantly reduced when taken with Viraday Tablet.

Drug-Food Interactions

Liver disease: If you have a history of liver disease, Viraday Tablet could potentially worsen your condition.
Kidney disease: Regular monitoring is required for individuals with kidney disease as this medication could affect kidney function.

Seizure disorders: Viraday Tablet can potentially lower the seizure threshold, increasing the risk of seizures in patients with a history of epilepsy or other seizure disorders.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Viraday Tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary depending on factors such as the condition's severity and your response to the medication. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and don't exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Viraday Tablets than recommended, you might experience common side effects like nausea, dizziness, or fatigue in a heightened manner. If these symptoms persist or worsen over time, let your doctor know about it.

Missed Dose

In case you've missed a dose of Viraday Tablet, take it as soon as you recall. However, if it's already close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.
