AB Zidovudine therapy seems to be effective for reducing vertical
transmission of HIV infection and preventing paediatric AIDS. Besides
those cases in which it is indicated, zidovudine plays an important role
in safeguarding maternal well-being. Even though no data indicating
teratogenic effect of this drug exist, its use during the first
trimester should be limited to those cases where it is absolutely
indicated. All undergoing this therapy should be informed that no
information regarding the long term effects of this drug are available
yet. Further controlled studies are necessary if this drug is to be used
in those cases where it could actually be of benefit.
