What You Should Know About AZT

AZT is one of the medicines that work against HIV. AZT may slow down the virus and the effect it has on your body.

Many people who have HIV feel better while taking AZT. Sometimes AZT causes problems such as upset stomach, anemia (low blood), headache, or muscle soreness. These problems usually go away when AZT is stopped or the dose is lowered. Talk to your health care provider.
