Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad
¡BRAVO! El cambio de la zidovudina (Retrovir, AZT) por el abacavir (Ziagen) fue exactamente lo que necesitaste hacer porque la zidovudina, como la stavudina (Zerit, d4T) puede asociarse con la lipoatrofia (pérdida de grasa en la cara, brazos, glúteos y piernas). ¿Sabes que existe una pastilla de combinación compuesta de abacavir y lamivudina (Epzicom, Kivexa)?
Mucha suerte y un abrazo fuerte.
Dr. Steve
