What is Lamivudine used for?
Lamivudine is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of HIV infection and chronic hepatitis B. It is often prescribed as part of combination therapy to reduce viral load and improve immune function in affected individuals.
How does Lamivudine work in the body?
Lamivudine works by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme that viruses like HIV and hepatitis B use to replicate. By blocking this enzyme, Lamivudine helps prevent the virus from multiplying, which slows the progression of the disease and improves patient outcomes.
Is Lamivudine effective as a standalone treatment?
Lamivudine is not typically used alone for treating HIV because using a single drug can lead to resistance. It is most effective when combined with other antiretrovirals to create a comprehensive and sustained viral suppression regimen.
Can Lamivudine be used during pregnancy?
Yes, Lamivudine may be used during pregnancy to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. However, it should only be used under medical supervision, with careful monitoring for side effects and effectiveness.
What are the side effects of Lamivudine?
Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, and headache. In rare cases, it may cause serious conditions such as lactic acidosis or liver toxicity, especially when used in long-term therapy, requiring regular medical follow-up.
