Additional Information
Why is this medication prescribed
Didanosine is used with other medications to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in patients with or without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Didanosine is in a class of medications called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Didanosine works by slowing the spread of HIV in the body. Didanosine does not cure HIV infection and may not prevent you from developing HIV-related illnesses. Didanosine does not prevent you from spreading HIV to other people.
Other uses for this medicine
Didanosine is also used with another medication to help prevent infection in health care workers or other people who were accidentally exposed to HIV. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What other information should I know
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
If you spill a packet of didanosine powder or didanosine liquid, clean the area of the spill with a wet mop or damp sponge using soap and water. Clean the area slowly so you do not make dust in the air. Try to keep all of the spill in one area. Wash your hands and the clean-up materials well after use.
