The Food and Drug administration has approved the use of Ziagen (ZY'-uh-jen) in combination with other drugs to treat H-I-V and AIDS.
The F-D-A says the combination of medicines helps lower the amount of H-I-V in the blood.
The drug's manufacturer says patients would only have to take one tablet twice a day.
It appears to be most effective with patients who haven't tried other AIDS drugs.
