What side effect is associated with Enfuvirtide (Fuzeon)?

Infusion reactions
Local injection site reactions
No specific side effects
Nephrotoxicity

The correct answer is: Local injection site reactions

Enfuvirtide, also known as Fuzeon, is a medication used to treat HIV infection. One of the well-known side effects associated with Enfuvirtide is local injection site reactions. This occurs because Enfuvirtide is administered subcutaneously, leading to redness, swelling, pain, or nodules at the injection site. Monitoring and management of these local reactions are essential to ensure patient comfort and compliance with treatment. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. The other options - infusion reactions, nephrotoxicity, and no specific side effects - are not commonly linked with Enfuvirtide use.
