WHAT LAMIVUDINE/ZIDOVUDINE TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
LAMIVUDINE/ZIDOVUDINE TEVA IS USED TO TREAT HIV (HUMAN
IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS) INFECTION IN
ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
Lamivudine/Zidovudine Teva contains two active ingredients that are
used to treat HIV infection:
lamivudine and zidovudine. Both of these belong to a group of
anti-retroviral medicines called
_nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors_
(
_NRTIs_
)
_. _
_ _
Lamivudine/Zidovudine Teva does not completely cure HIV infection; it
reduces the amount of virus
in your body, and keeps it at a low level. It also increases the CD4
cell count in your blood. CD4 cells
are a type of white blood cells that are important in helping your
body to fight infection.
Not everyone responds to treatment with Lamivudine/Zidovudine Teva in
the same way. Your doctor
will monitor the effectiveness of your treatment.
