Abstrakt: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occupy a significant role in the etiology of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is an ADR, rarely formed due to some antiretroviral drugs. Zidovudine is a first-line drug of choice in AIDS patients, but consumption of this drug has not been reported yet for gynecomastia as an adverse effect. Here, we present the case of a 36-year-old male, who developed bilateral gynecomastia following zidovudine use and was completely regressed after discontinuation. Discontinuation of the zidovudine is quite efficient approach without any pharmacological or surgical treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
