WHAT TRIUMEQ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Triumeq is a medicine that contains three active substances used to
treat HIV infection: abacavir,
lamivudine and dolutegravir. Abacavir and lamivudine belong to a group
of anti-retroviral medicines
(medicines used to treat HIV infection) called
_nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors _
_(NRTIs)_
, and dolutegravir belongs to a group of anti-retroviral medicines
called
_integrase inhibitors _
_(INIs)_
.
Triumeq is used to treat HIV (HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS) INFECTION
in adults, adolescents and
children who weigh at least 25 kg.
Before you are prescribed Triumeq your doctor will arrange a test to
find out whether you carry a
particular type of gene called HLA-B*5701. Triumeq should not be used
in patients who are known to
carry the HLA-B*5701 gene. Patients with this gene are at a high risk
of developing a serious
hypersensitivity (allergic) reaction if they use Triumeq (see
‘hypersensitivity reactions’ in section 4).
Triumeq does not cure HIV infection; it reduces the amount of virus in
your body, and keeps it at a
low level. It also inc
