Antiviral agent stavudin

Stavudine [inn, usan] (d4T Zerit ) is a synthetic thymidine nucleoside group reverse trascriptase inhibitor ANTIVIRAL AGENT, clinically used orally in anti-hiv treatment. StC 1400 fludrocortisone. [Pg.261]

Zalcitabine toxicides are similar to those of the other dideoxynucleotide analogs didanosine and stavudine. Severe peripheral neuropathy has been reported in up to 15% of patients. Pancreatitis occurs rarely with zalcitabine therapy, but coadministration of other drugs that cause pancreatitis should be avoided. One distinctive toxicity of zalcitabine is oral ulceration and stomatitis. An erythematous rash also is common but generally self-limited. The necessity of frequent administration, the risk of toxicides, and the inferior antiviral activity compared to more convenient agents limits the use of zalcitabine in the U.S. [Pg.845]
