Combivir (lamivudine and zidovudine)

Indications

• Combivir tablets are indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
• It helps to control HIV infection and improve the quality of life in individuals with HIV/AIDS.

Dosage and Administration

• Take Combivir tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically one tablet twice daily.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water.
• Take Combivir with or without food as directed by your doctor.
• Adhere strictly to your prescribed treatment regimen without missing doses to ensure the effectiveness of the therapy.
• Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose of Combivir or take it more frequently than directed by your doctor.
• Avoid stopping Combivir abruptly without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen your condition or lead to resistance.
• Do not share your medication with others, even if they have similar symptoms.

Mechanism of Action

Combivir contains two antiretroviral drugs: Lamivudine and Zidovudine. Both drugs belong to a class called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). They work by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which HIV needs to multiply. This reduces the amount of HIV in the body and improves the function of the immune system.
