Lamivir S, Lamivudine/ Stavudine

Lamivir S is an anti-retroviral medicine, used in the treatment to suppress the HIV virus and preventing it from infecting the immune system in the body

Lamivir S slows the progress of HIV infection, but it is not a cure. Lamivir S is a NNRTI (non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor) which is given for a short period of time, when other NNRTI's are not suitable. Lamivir S is usually taken with 3 or more other anti-retroviral medicines at the same time as a combination therapy. Lamivir S as an NNRTI directly interferes with the enzymes ability to replicate the HIV virus DNA material thus slowing down the virus from spreading and keeping it at bay

Patients who take Lamivir S may suffer from such side effects;

Fatigue,
Vomiting,
Headache,
Muscle pain,
Nausea,
Unusual weight loss or gain,
Dizziness
