Viropil Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Insomnia
Headache
Fatigue

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Viropil 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:

Insomnia: If you find it difficult to sleep after taking Viropil Tablet, consider taking it in the morning instead of at night.
Fatigue: If you feel worn out after taking this medicine, it may help to take it just before bed.

Viropil Tablet contains three active ingredients that work together to inhibit key steps in the HIV replication cycle:

Dolutegravir (50 mg): This component binds to the active site of the HIV integrase and blocks the strand transfer step of retroviral DNA integration, a vital step in the HIV replication cycle.
Lamivudine (300 mg): Lamivudine is a synthetic nucleoside analogue that inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase after its intracellular transformation into its active 5'-triphosphate metabolite. This results in the termination of the DNA chain.
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (300 mg): This component is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate diester analogue of adenosine monophosphate. After undergoing diester hydrolysis and phosphorylation, it inhibits the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by competing with the natural substrate deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate and causing DNA chain termination after incorporation into DNA.

Pregnancy

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

Breastfeeding

Viropil Tablet is contraindicated for breastfeeding or lactating women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

To ensure the effectiveness of the medicine, it's recommended to limit alcohol consumption.

Liver

All patients should be tested for hepatitis B virus (HBV) before starting with Viropil Tablet as severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting Viropil Tablet.

Kidney

Caution is required for using Viropil Tablet if you have a history of any kidney problems. The medicine is not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis.

Using Machines & Driving

No specific information is available regarding the effect of Viropil Tablet on driving or operating machinery. However, if you feel dizzy or sleepy after taking this medicine, avoid these activities until you feel better.

Allergy

If you are allergic to any ingredients in Viropil Tablet, discontinue its use immediately and consult your doctor.

Children

Viropil Tablet can be given to children weighing at least 40 kg under medical supervision. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Viropil Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Viropil Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Anti-epileptic medicines: Medications like carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin can reduce the blood levels of dolutegravir, one of the active ingredients in Viropil Tablet, potentially reducing its effectiveness.
Tuberculosis (TB) medication: Rifampin, a TB medication, can also decrease dolutegravir levels in your body.
Herbal supplements: St. John's wort, a herbal supplement often used for depression, can reduce the effect of dolutegravir due to its strong inducing properties.
Antiviral medicines: Some antiviral medications like adefovir dipivoxil and cidofovir can increase the concentration of lamivudine or tenofovir, two other ingredients in Viropil Tablet, potentially increasing the risk of side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

Viropil Tablet has no known significant interactions with any food items.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Viropil Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Hepatitis B: If you have hepatitis B virus (HBV), stopping treatment with lamivudine or tenofovir, two components of Viropil Tablet, could lead to a serious flare-up of your hepatitis B.
Kidney disease: If you have severe kidney problems or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis, Viropil Tablet is not recommended as it may worsen your condition.
Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis: If you have these conditions or develop symptoms suggesting them while on Viropil Tablet, treatment should be suspended as it could aggravate these conditions.

Daily Dose

If you mistakenly take more than the prescribed dose of Viropil Tablet, you might experience symptoms like headache, insomnia, or fatigue. However, if these symptoms persist or become severe, it's important to inform your doctor.

Over Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Viropil Tablet, don't worry. Take it as soon as you remember. But if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and continue with your regular schedule. Remember not to increase your dosage without speaking to your doctor.
