Combivir (active ingredients: lamivudine and zidovudine) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • HIV Infection: Combivir is used in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 30 kg.

Combivir belongs to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works by interfering with the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which is essential for HIV replication, thereby reducing viral load and slowing down the progression of HIV infection.

Combivir comes in the form of a tablet to be taken by mouth with or without food as directed by a healthcare professional, usually twice daily. Take the tablet with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters) unless instructed otherwise by a doctor. Only take this medication if prescribed by a doctor who has determined the right doses of both medications in this product for the patient. It should not be used by children weighing less than 30 kilograms (66 pounds).

Continue taking Combivir and other HIV medications exactly as prescribed, without skipping doses or changing the dose unless directed by a doctor. Skipping doses or changing the dose without approval from a doctor may increase the amount of virus in the body, make the infection more difficult to manage, result in drug resistance or worsening side effects.

  • The dosage of Combivir in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents weighing greater than or equal to 30 kg is 1 tablet (containing 150 mg of lamivudine and 300 mg of zidovudine) taken orally twice daily.
  • The typical dosage of scored Combivir tablets for pediatric patients who weigh greater than or equal to 30 kg and for whom a solid oral dosage form is appropriate is 1 tablet administered orally twice daily.
