The AIDSinfo Drug Database provides HIV/AIDS drug fact sheets. All antiretroviral drugs that are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are included in the database.
The database also contains fact sheets for many drugs used for opportunistic infections associated with AIDS, drugs used to treat
side effects of antiretroviral drugs, and other drugs which may be used to treat people with HIV/AIDS.
The database includes both FDA-approved and investigational drugs. Investigational, or pipeline, drugs are experimental drugs which
are being tested in both humans and animals and have not been approved by the FDA. While there are many HIV/AIDS drugs being
investigated worldwide, this database contains only those investigational drugs that are being tested in human clinical trials.
For each drug in the database, there is a non-technical fact sheet and a technical fact sheet. The non-technical fact sheet provides
basic information about the drug’s use, dosage, side effects, contraindications, and manufacturer. The non-technical fact sheet also
provides both the generic and brand names, a pronunciation guide, and the date the FDA approved the drug. The technical fact sheet
provides more extensive information about the drug’s pharmacology, chemistry, and toxicity.
