Lamivudine

Lamivudine is a medication primarily used to treat HIV/AIDS and chronic hepatitis B. It works by inhibiting the virus's ability to replicate, helping to lower the virus levels in the body. This can improve immune function and overall health in individuals with these conditions. Lamivudine is often part of a combination therapy, meaning it is used alongside other medications to enhance effectiveness. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions while taking lamivudine to manage their condition effectively and minimize the risk of developing drug resistance.
