NRTIs are faulty versions of building blocks that HIV needs to make more copies of itself. When HIV uses an NRTI instead of a normal building block, reproduction of the virus is stalled.
Long term side effects of NRTIs have been associated with damage to the mitochondria (the cell parts that provide energy to the cell). This damage may cause low red and white blood cell counts, muscle pain and wasting (particularly in the arms and legs), fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and more rarely, serious liver (lactic acidosis) or pancreas problems.

Posted on: 01/03/2010 Hi, My father is a HIV patient and is getting treatment from Art Center at Jallandhar. We belong to Pathankot. A new Art Center has just started at Pathankot Civil Hospital. The doctor at Jallandhar has shifted ws to Pathankot Art center for treatment but we wanted to continue for treatment at Jallandhar. kindly suggest, can doctors at Jullandhar forcefully shift us to Pathankot for treatment or is it our choice for Art Center at another city, inspite of having Art Center at our own city? |
