I vomited after taking Ricovir. What should I do?

Can I breastfeed while receiving treatment with Ricovir for chronic HBV infection?

No, you should not breastfeed your baby since small amounts of Ricovir pass into breast milk. Further, if your baby does not have HIV or HBV, there is a chance that the baby can get HIV or HBV through breastfeeding.

Does Ricovir prevent passing of HIV-1 and HBV to others?

In case of HIV-1 infection, Ricovir may reduce the risk of passing the virus to others, but the chances of infecting others still persist.

Therefore, the patients of both HIV-1 infection and HBV infection should practice safe sex and should not share dirty needles.

How should I take Ricovir?

You should take Ricovir in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Ricovir works best when taken with meals or just afterwards. However, taking it without food does not reduce its effectiveness. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor.
