Combivir 150mg + 300mg Tablets

Uses: this product contains 2 drugs: lamivudine and zidovudine. It is used with other hiv medications to help control hiv viral & infection. It helps to decrease the amount of hiv in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting hiv complications (Such as new viral & infections, anti cancer) and improves your quality of life. Both lamivudine and zidovudine belong to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (Nrtis). Lamivudine/Zidovudine is not a cure for hiv viral & infection. To decrease your risk of spreading hiv disease to others, do all of the following: (1) continue to take all hiv medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor, (2) always use an effective barrier method (Latex or polyurethane condoms/Dental dams) during all sexual activity, and (3) do not share personal items (Such as needles/Syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. How to use: lamivudine-Zidovudineread the patient information leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking lamivudine/Zidovudine, and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually 2 times daily or as directed by your doctor. Take this medication with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters) unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Because this combination product has fixed doses of lamivudine and zidovudine, it should only be used if your doctor has determined that the doses of both medications in this product are right for you. This product is not to be used in children weighing less than 30 kilograms (66 pounds). It is very important to continue taking this medication (And other hiv medications) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses. Do not increase your dose, take this drug more often than prescribed, or stop taking it (Or other hiv medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Skipping or changing your dose without approval from your doctor may cause the amount of virus to increase, make the viral & infection more difficult to treat (Resistant), or worsen side effects. For the best effect, take this medication at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take this medication at the same times every day.
