Description

Ziagen Product Description  

Ziagen is an antiviral medication that averts the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from replicating in your body. Ziagen is a medication that is used to treat HIV, a virus that if not treated, can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This medication is for adults and children over the age of three months.  

Ziagen Uses 

This medication is used in conjunction with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps your immune system work more efficiently by reducing the amount of HIV in your body. This reduces your chances of developing HIV-related consequences (such as new infections and cancer) while also improving your quality of life.
