Therapy should be prescribed by a physician experienced in the
management of HIV infection.

_Adults, adolescents and children weighing at least 25 kg:_
The recommended dose of Abacavir/Lamivudine is one tablet once daily.
_Children Under 25 kg:_
Abacavir/Lamivudine should not be administered to children who weigh
less than 25 kg because it is a
fixed-dose tablet that cannot be dose reduced.
Abacavir/Lamivudine is a fixed-dose tablet and should not be
prescribed for patients requiring dose
adjustments. Separate preparations of abacavir or lamivudine are
available in cases where discontinuation
or dose adjustment of one of the active substances is indicated. In
these cases the physician should refer to
the individual product information for these medicinal products.
