Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad
Buenas noches,
No es ningún secreto que no soy un fan de AZT. Y eso es principalmente por causa de su perfil de efectos secundarios y toxicidades desfavorable. Sí, la toma de AZT puede asociarse con pérdida del apetito, náuseas y vómitos, lo cual podría llevar a pérdida de peso y la delgadez. Asimismo, los efectos secundarios potenciales asociados con AZT incluyen pérdida de grasa en la cara, brazos, glúteos y piernas (lipoatrofia) y anemia. Afortunadamente hoy en día hay alternativas muchas más mejores en cuanto a tolerabilidad, eficacia, durabilidad y efectos secundarios posibles. Te sugiero que hables con tu médico especialista en VIH de sustituir AZT por otro fármaco antirretroviral -- tal vez tenofovir (Viread) o abacavir (Ziagen).
Mucha suerte y un abrazo fuerte.
Dr. Steve
