WHAT 3TC ORAL
SOLUTION IS USED FOR
3TC oral solution contains
lamivudine which belongs to a group
of medicines called antivirals.
3TC is used together with other
antivirals to slow down the
progression of human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
infection, which can lead to Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS) and other related illnesses
(eg AIDS-related Complex or ARC).
3TC does not cure AIDS or kill the
HIV virus, but prevents further
damage to the immune system by
stopping production of new viruses.
You can still pass on HIV when
taking this medicine, although the
risk is lowered by effective
antiretroviral therapy. Discuss with
your doctor the precautions needed to
avoid infecting other people. You
will still be able to pass on the HIV
virus by sexual activity or by
contamination with infected blood.
You should still use proper
precautions.
While taking 3TC and/or any other
therapy for HIV disease, you may
continue to develop other infections
and other complications of HIV
infection. You should keep in regular
contact with the doctor who is
looking after you.
3TC oral solution is not addictive.
Your doctor may have prescribed
3TC oral solution for another reason.
Ask your doctor if you have any
questions about why 3TC oral
solution have been prescribed for
you.
