Didanosine Oral Uses
Didanosine stops the growth of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to help fight AIDS.
This medication is not a cure for AIDS nor does it prevent the passing of HIV to others.
One group of HIV medications (the nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors-NRTIs such as zidovudine and lamivudine) are very useful. However, NRTIs are recommended to be used in combination with other groups of HIV medications in order to be effective. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
