How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Zidovudine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Zidovudine is an antiretroviral agent [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )].
Metabolism and Elimination Zidovudine is primarily eliminated by hepatic metabolism.
After IV dosing, about 29% of the dose was excreted in the urine unchanged, and about 45% of the dose was excreted as GZDV [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )].
Effect of Food on Absorption Zidovudine may be administered with or without food.
