When starting treatment with Nevirapine, take one tablet by mouth with or without food daily for the first 14 days as directed by your doctor. After the first 14 days, the recommended dosage is one tablet twice daily or as prescribed by your doctor. In case of liver problems or skin/allergic reactions, seek medical attention at once and refrain from increasing the dosage to twice daily.
The amount of Nevirapine you should take depends on your medical condition and response to treatment. Dosage in children is also based on body size.
Do not take a once-daily dose for more than 28 days and consult your doctor before resuming treatment after a break of more than 7 days, except for the serious reactions mentioned in the Warning section. Your doctor should determine if restarting the medication with a once-daily dose for the first 14 days is appropriate to reduce the risk of serious side effects.
Follow your doctor’s instructions and take Nevirapine exactly as prescribed. Skipping doses, increasing your dose, or taking it more often than prescribed, or stopping treatment abruptly without approval from your doctor can increase the amount of the virus in your system, make the infection more difficult to treat or cause adverse effects.
For optimal results, take Nevirapine at regular, evenly spaced intervals and try to take it at the same time every day.
