Stavudine is a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) formerly used in combination antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV infection. Due to significant long-term toxicities, including peripheral neuropathy and lipodystrophy, its clinical use has been largely discontinued and is not recommended in current HIV treatment guidelines.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for healthy adult volunteers after oral administration.
