Ziagen Jan 20, 2002 thanks for your answer to my recent question regarding ziagen. one other thing i forgot to ask. is itching associated with the rash that one would get if they were allergic to ziagen. i have been on ziagen for about 8 days now and at times am extremely itchy. but so far have not noticed any rash. could this be the beginnings of a adverse reaction? also if i do have hypersensitivity to ziagen what would be my alternatives as far as other medicines. i was on viramune and combivir but was taken off the combivir due to neuropathy. and the combivir and viramune were my initial treatment medicines since i first found out i was positive. so are there other meds i could take other than ziagen or would my only choice be to go back on the combivir and just deal with the neuropathy. thanks again. |

 Itching by itself would probably not be a major clue that you have hypersensitivity to abacavir. If you had to stop abacavir then nevirapine, efavirenz, tenofovir, or a protease inhibitor might be options for you depending on the details of your past treatment. KH | ||
