If youre taking lamivudine to treat HIV, youll take it as part of a combination therapy. That means youll need to take it with other drugs to treat your HIV infection.

Lamivudine is used to treat two different viral infections: HIV and hepatitis B (HBV).

Lamivudine belongs to a class of drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). A class of drugs is a group of medications that work in a similar way. These drugs are often used to treat similar conditions.

Lamivudine doesnt cure infection with HIV or HBV. However, it helps slow the progression of these diseases by limiting the ability of the viruses to replicate (make copies of themselves).

In order to replicate and spread in your body, HIV and HBV need to use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. NRTIs such as lamivudine block this enzyme. This action prevents HIV and HBV from making copies as quickly, slowing down the spread of the viruses.

When lamivudine is used on its own to treat HIV, it can lead to drug resistance. It must be used in combination with at least two other antiretroviral drugs to control HIV.
