Impexxia Lamivudine 150mg (60 Tablets)
Impexxia Lamivudine 150mg is a generic antiretroviral medication containing Lamivudine, a Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI). It is formulated to help manage viral loads in patients with HIV-1 infection and chronic Hepatitis B.
How It Works
Lamivudine works by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is essential for the replication of HIV and the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). By reducing the amount of virus in the blood, it helps improve the immune system's function and reduces the risk of complications.
Indications & Usage
- HIV-1 Infection: Typically used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to manage HIV-1.
- Chronic Hepatitis B: Used to treat chronic HBV infection in adults and children at specific dosages.
Dosage & Administration
The dosage of Impexxia Lamivudine depends on the condition being treated and the patient's weight or renal function.
- For HIV-1, the common adult dose is often 150mg twice daily or 300mg once daily.
- For Hepatitis B, the dosage is usually lower (e.g., 100mg once daily), though this 150mg tablet may be prescribed based on medical advice.
Note: This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Always follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor or consult a GoMed pharmacist for guidance.
