Uses of MCSTAR Tablets Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a type of virus known as a retrovirus. HIV is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids, such us from unprotected sex, breastfeeding, using contaminated syringes, or transfusion with contaminated blood. Infection with HIV damages the immune system, which is your body’s defense against invasion with harmful organisms. If left untreated, HIV infection can result in a condition called acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). MCSTAR tablets are a fixed-dose combination medication used to treat HIV infection to relieve acute symptoms of the disease. Also, to control the spread of the virus within the body and prevent the development of AIDS. MCSTAR tablets can be used as a first-time treatment for HIV infection. They can also be used if you have previously been treated with other HIV medications but have not had problems with virus resistance to treatment. How MCSTAR Tablet works MCSTAR tablets contain a fixed-dose combination of three antiretroviral drugs, bictegravir, emtricitabine and tenofovir, that are used together to treat HIV infection. The genetic material of retroviruses is RNA, and the only way a retrovirus can multiply is to convert its RNA to DNA using an enzyme produced by the virus called reverse transcriptase. Once a DNA copy has been made of the viral RNA, it can then get into (or integrate) the DNA of infected immune cells. This stage of the infection process is assisted by a viral enzyme known as integrase. Once integrated into the host immune cell DNA, the viral DNA can replicate, using the cellular equipment provided by the host cells. Emtricitabine and tenofovir in MCSTAR tablets are both inhibitors of the viral reverse transcriptase enzyme (RT). They both work by competing with one of the essential building blocks needed to synthesise DNA from RNA, called deoxynucleotides. Emtricitabine is known as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) and competes with the nucleoside deoxycytidine. Tenofovir alafenamide is a precursor or prodrug of tenofovir and is converted inside the infected immune cell into its active form. Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI) and competes with the nucleotide adenosine. When either of these drugs become incorporated into the chain of DNA as it is synthesised from the viral RNA, they block any more DNA synthesis so that it cannot be integrated into the immune cell DNA. Bictegravir in MCSTAR tablets works at a different stage of the viral replication process. It is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), which blocks the action of the viral integrase enzyme so that the virus cannot insert copies of its newly made DNA into the immune cell DNA. Without being integrated into the host cell DNA, the virus cannot replicate. Bictegravir is a relatively new type of INSTI and is more able to prevent the development of HIV resistance. MCSTAR tablets do not kill the virus, but they do stop HIV making more copies of itself, which slows down the replication of HIV within your body. Although it does not kill the virus already incorporated in the CD4 cells or prevent the spread of infection, reducing the viral load minimizes the risk of transmission of HIV to others. MCSTAR tablets also allow the immune system to recover and produce more CD4 cells to replace infected cells. Combining three antiretroviral drugs into a single tablet makes it easier to take the medication and reduces the number of pills you need to take. Side Effects of MCSTAR Tablets

Most medications have some side effects, but they are not experienced by everyone. Some side effects are commonly experienced when taking MCSTAR tablets, but others are not so common, and you should discuss any problems or concerns with your primary care physician.
Common side effects when taking MCSTAR include headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhoea, abnormal dreams, depression, fatigue.
A more serious but less common side effect is a condition called lactic acidosis, which is excess lactic acid in the blood due to liver damage, which may cause pancreatitis, liver failure, or renal failure.
As the immune system improves, inflammation caused by the body’s reaction to a previous infection may cause symptoms of that infection.
