Epivir (active ingredient: lamivudine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. HIV Infection: Epivir is used in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 2 kg.
  2. Chronic Hepatitis B: It is also indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.

Epivir belongs to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), which work by interfering with the replication of the HIV and HBV viruses, thereby reducing their ability to multiply and cause infection.

Epivir (Lamivudine) comes in tablet form and is taken orally, with or without food, usually once or twice daily. To use Epivir tablet, take it by mouth with or without food as recommended by your doctor, typically once or twice daily. Patients who cannot swallow tablets should use the oral solution, or alternatively they may crush the tablets and add them to a small amount of food or drink immediately before swallowing it.

Be sure to follow the dosage and frequency instructions carefully and do not change your dose without your doctor’s direction. Taking Epivir tablet inconsistently or stopping it abruptly can make the infection more challenging to treat or cause adverse side effects. Also, take it at the same time(s) each day to achieve the most beneficial outcome.

The recommended dose of Epivir for adults and children weighing at least 25 kg is 300 mg a day. This can be taken either as a single daily dose or divided into 150 mg twice a day. In children weighing less than 25 kg the recommended dose depends on their weight.
