Quick Tips

  • Have regular blood tests to monitor your blood cell counts, kidney function, and liver health.

Dosage

Overdose

If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital. Symptoms may include severe nausea, diarrhea, or other side effects.

Missed a Dose

Missing doses of this antiretroviral medicine increases the risk of the virus becoming resistant to treatment, so try to take every dose on time. If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Lamivox works by interfering with an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which the virus needs to reproduce. By blocking this enzyme, Lamivox prevents the virus from making copies of itself, helping to control the infection and strengthen the immune system.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Lamivox may interact with other antiretroviral medicines and other medicines. Your doctor will monitor you and adjust doses if needed. Some medicines may require special monitoring or dose adjustments when taken with Lamivox.

Interactions with food items

Lamivox can be taken with or without food.
