Nevirapine warning

Women with CD4+ cell counts above 250 are not recommended to take nevirapine (Viramune). There is a significant risk of liver toxicity. For women with CD4+ cell below 250, nevirapine appears to be safe. Talk with your doctor about an alternative drug if your CD4+ cell count is above 250.
