Videx EC (also known by the generic name Didanosine) is a medicine used to treat infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This virus causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

Videx EC (Didanosine) belongs to a group of drugs called antivirals. Videx EC (Didanosine) does not cure HIV infection or AIDS but rather, it prevents HIV from multiplying in the body, thereby lessening symptoms of AIDS.

The “EC” in the drug name stands for “enteric coated”. This means that the Videx pills are coated with a harmless substance to make the medicine less likely to cause nausea or stomach upset. You can buy discount Videx EC (Didanosine) online from a Canadian pharmacy.
