Understanding this RxNorm record
RxNorm identifiers distinguish ingredients, specific strengths, dose forms, and branded products. They help connect equivalent terminology across data sources; an RxNorm entry does not by itself establish that a product is currently marketed, approved for a particular use, or appropriate for an individual.
Clinical-trial associations reflect registry-reported intervention names and verified mappings where available. A medication listed in a trial may be investigational for that condition. Consult the original study record and official prescribing information for indications and safety details.

Nevirapine
Nevirapine (NVP), sold under the brand name Viramune among others, is a medication used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS, specifically HIV-1. It is generally recommended for use with other antiretroviral medications. It may be used to prevent mother to child spread during birth but is not recommended following other exposures. It is taken by mouth. Common side effects include rash, headache, nausea, feeling tired, and liver problems. The liver problems and skin rash may be severe and should be checked for during the first few months of treatment. It appears to be safe for use during pregnancy. It is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and works by blocking the function of reverse transcriptase. Nevirapine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1996. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is available as a generic medication.
