What is Lamivudine?

Lamivudine is a generic prescription drug used to control the virus that causes HIV/AIDS. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a “retrovirus.” Lamivudine belongs to a class of drugs called antiretrovirals. Lamivudine is always used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs.

Lamivudine helps prevent the HIV-1 virus from replicating. Because the HIV virus attacks and weakens the immune system, reducing the amount of HIV virus in the body helps prevent the opportunistic and life-threatening illnesses common to HIV/AIDS, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, certain types of cancer, and other diseases.

Lamivudine is taken as a tablet or oral solution once or twice daily. If you have ever had hepatitis B, it may become active or become worse after you stop taking Lamivudine. Tell your doctor if you have new hepatitis symptoms. You should not take Epivir HBV (for the treatment of hepatitis B) if you take other medicine that contains Lamivudine or emtricitabine. 

What are the side effects of Lamivudine?

The most common side effects of Lamivudine are cough, runny nose, headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, “feeling bad” (malaise), problems sleeping, tired feeling, appetite loss, dizziness, stomach pain, muscle and joint pain, abnormal dreams, depression, and weakness and numbness in the hands and feet.  

Allergic reactions are rare, but discontinue Lamivudine and get emergency medical attention if any allergic symptoms, such as rash, swelling, or trouble breathing, are experienced. 

Lamivudine can cause serious or life-threatening effects on the liver or pancreas. Call your doctor right away if you have severe upper stomach pain, nausea, appetite loss, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes.
