Lamivir is a medication used in combination with other antiretrovirals to treat HIV. It is essential to take Lamivir as part of a regular regimen to prevent the progression of HIV to AIDS, as it is not effective when used alone. Additionally, Lamivir may be used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.

Benefits

Lamivir helps manage HIV infection by reducing the viral load in the body, thereby improving immune function and reducing the risk of developing AIDS. It may also help in managing chronic hepatitis B.

How to Use

For treating HIV, patients older than 12 should take one Lamivir tablet twice a day. It can be taken with or without food. Dosage adjustments may be necessary for younger patients and adults with renal impairment. Patients with both hepatitis B and HIV may require a higher dose for effective treatment.

Warnings and Precautions

Discontinuing Lamivir suddenly can worsen hepatitis symptoms. Liver function should be monitored for at least four months after stopping the medication.

Drug Interactions

Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim can increase the concentration of lamivudine. Lamivir should not be taken with zalcitabine as they interfere with each other’s absorption.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Lamivir may be present in breast milk. Mothers with HIV should avoid breastfeeding to prevent transmitting the virus to their infants.

Overdosage

Taking an excessive amount of Lamivir can be toxic. Seek medical attention immediately if you exceed the prescribed dosage.
