Persistence of nevirapine exposure during the postpartum period after intrapartum single-dose nevirapine in addition to zidovudine prophylaxis for the prevention of mother-child transmission of HIV-1
Article Abstract:
Nevirapine (NVP) plasma levels during the postpartum period after a single intrapartum NVP dose for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission is determined. Plasma NVP concentrations around the IC(super 50) might persist in some women for as long as 4 weeks after administration of single intrapartum NVP doses.
