What are the Toxicological Concerns of Antiretroviral Drugs?
While antiretroviral drugs are effective in suppressing HIV, they can also cause a range of adverse effects. These can include liver toxicity, kidney toxicity, gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular issues, and metabolic disturbances. Long-term use of these drugs can lead to chronic conditions such as lipodystrophy and osteoporosis. Therefore, continuous monitoring and management of these side effects are essential for individuals undergoing antiretroviral therapy.
