  1. HIV/AIDS Treatment: Stavudine is an important component of antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens used to manage HIV/AIDS. It helps to reduce the viral load in the blood, increase CD4 cell counts, and slow down the progression of HIV infection to AIDS. Stavudine is often prescribed in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to form highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

  2. Reduction of HIV Viral Load: Stavudine inhibits the replication of the HIV virus by interfering with the reverse transcription process, which is essential for the virus to reproduce. By reducing viral replication, stavudine helps to lower the amount of HIV in the bloodstream, thereby slowing the progression of the disease.

  3. Increase in CD4 Cell Counts: CD4 cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system. HIV attacks and destroys CD4 cells, weakening the immune system and making the individual more susceptible to infections and other complications. Stavudine, along with other antiretroviral drugs, helps to increase CD4 cell counts, which strengthens the immune response against HIV and other opportunistic infections.

  4. Prevention of Opportunistic Infections: By suppressing HIV replication and boosting immune function, stavudine helps to prevent opportunistic infections in people living with HIV/AIDS. Opportunistic infections are infections that occur more frequently or are more severe in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with untreated HIV/AIDS.

  5. Delay of Disease Progression: Stavudine, when used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy, can significantly delay the progression of HIV infection to AIDS. It helps to maintain the health and quality of life of individuals living with HIV/AIDS by controlling viral replication, preserving immune function, and reducing the risk of AIDS-related complications.

  6. Side Effects: While stavudine is effective in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, it can cause side effects, including peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage leading to numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet), lipoatrophy (loss of fat tissue in the face, arms, and legs), pancreatitis, lactic acidosis, and mitochondrial toxicity. These side effects may vary in severity and can sometimes limit the long-term use of stavudine.

  7. Alternative Medications: Due to its side effect profile and the availability of newer and better-tolerated antiretroviral drugs, stavudine is less commonly used in HIV/AIDS treatment regimens today. It has been replaced by other NRTIs with a more favorable safety profile, such as tenofovir, abacavir, and lamivudine.

Impacted of stavudine,(prescription) On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by stavudine,(prescription)

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of stavudine,(prescription) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
