Introduction
Adverse Reactions
Adverse Reactions
The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling:
- Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis
- Hepatic injury
- Neurologic symptoms and motor weakness
When ZERIT is used in combination with other agents with similar toxicities, the incidence of adverse reactions may be higher than when stavudine is used alone.[1]
