•
Immune reconstitution syndrome: When given with combination antiretroviral therapy

•
For signs of infection, anemia, nephrolithiasis
•
Bowel pattern before, during treatment; if severe abdominal pain with bleeding occurs, product should be discontinued; monitor hydration
•
Viral load, CD4 count throughout treatment
•
Skin eruptions, rash, urticaria, itching
•
Therapeutic response: increasing CD4 counts; decreased viral load, resolution of symptoms of HIV-1 infection
•
To take as prescribed with other antiretrovirals as prescribed; if dose is missed, to take as soon as remembered up to 1 hr before next dose; not to double dose, share with others
•
That product must be taken daily to maintain blood levels for duration of therapy
•
That product may cause photosensitivity; to use protective clothing, stay out of the sun
•
To notify prescriber if diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, rash occurs; dizziness, lightheadedness may occur; ECG may be altered
•
That product interacts with many products; St. John’s wort; to advise prescriber of all products, herbal products used
•
That redistribution of body fat may occur, the effect is not known
•
That product does not cure HIV-1 infection, prevent transmission to others; only controls symptoms
•
That, if taking phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor with atazanavir, there may be increased risk of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor–associated adverse events (hypotension, prolonged penile erection); to notify physician promptly of these symptoms

Tenormin
Func. class.:
Antihypertensive, antianginal
Chem. class.:
β-Blocker, β
1
-, β
2
-blocker (high doses)
atenolol
/albuterol
Tenormin
/thiamine/Imuran
Competitively blocks stimulation of β-adrenergic receptor within vascular smooth muscle; produces negative chronotropic activity (decreases rate of SA node discharge, increases recovery time), slows conduction of AV node, decreases heart rate, negative inotropic activity decreases O
2
consumption in myocardium; decreases action of renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system at high doses, inhibits β
2
receptors in bronchial system at higher doses
Mild to moderate hypertension, prophylaxis of angina pectoris; suspected or known MI (IV use); MI prophylaxis
Migraine prophylaxis, supraventricular tachycardia prophylaxis (PSVT), unstable angina, alcohol withdrawal, lithium-induced tremor
Pregnancy (D), hypersensitivity to β-blockers, cardiogenic shock, 2nd- or 3rd-degree heart block, sinus bradycardia, cardiac failure, Raynaud’s disease, pulmonary edema
Precautions:
