Why
is this medication prescribed?
Zidovudine is used
alone or with other medications to treat human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in patients with or
without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Zidovudine
is given to HIV-positive pregnant women to prevent the
infection from going to the baby. However, HIV infection may
still occur in the infant despite this treatment. Zidovudine
is not a cure and may not decrease the number of HIV-related
illnesses.

used?
Zidovudine is usually taken 3 to 5 times a

less than prescribed by your doctor. Follow the directions on
your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor to
explain any part you do not understand.
