How does this medicine work?

Lamivudine and zidovudine are antiretroviral medicines that work by inhibiting HIV reverse transcriptase, an enzyme the virus needs to replicate. By blocking this enzyme, these medicines slow down or stop the virus from multiplying in your body, helping control the infection and allowing your immune system to work better.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way this tablet works or increase the risk of side effects. Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. This is especially important if you are taking other antiretroviral medicines, or medicines that affect blood cell counts such as ganciclovir or interferon, as combining these can increase the risk of side effects.

Interactions with food items

Take this medicine with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Combivir is not a cure for HIV or AIDS. It helps control the infection and makes your immune system work better, but it does not eliminate the virus. Taking all doses correctly greatly increases effectiveness.
Combivir may be included as part of a doctor-prescribed multi-medicine regimen for preventing HIV after exposure, but it is not used alone for this purpose and must be combined with an additional antiretroviral medicine. Treatment should start within 72 hours of exposure under medical supervision.
Skipping doses increases the risk of treatment failure and allows the virus to become resistant to the medicine. It is crucial to take all doses at the correct time.
