How it Works

Expert Advice

  • You have been prescribed Lamivudine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

  • Take Lamivudine with food, as this enhances the absorption of the medication into the body.
  • Lamivudine may cause dizziness or sleepiness; avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
  • While taking this medication, you may still develop infections or other illnesses associated with viral infections.
  • You can also transmit HIV or HBV to others; do not share needles or personal items that may contain blood or body fluids.
  • During treatment and for at least six months after discontinuation of this medication, regular blood tests are necessary to monitor your liver function, hepatitis B virus levels, and blood cell counts.

Lamivudine is effective when taken as directed by your doctor. Do not discontinue use even if you notice improvement, as stopping early may lead to a return or worsening of symptoms.
Lamivudine should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, either with or without food. It is advisable to take it at the same time each day to minimize the risk of missing a dose.
Lamivudine does not cure hepatitis B but may improve liver condition by reducing the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the body and limiting its ability to replicate.
Consult your doctor before stopping Lamivudine, as discontinuation may worsen your condition, particularly in the first few months after stopping. Adhere strictly to the prescribed regimen.
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose to compensate, as this may increase side effects.
Drug resistance occurs when a medication that was once effective becomes ineffective due to changes in the virus or bacteria. With Lamivudine, resistance is more likely if the dosage is lower than recommended.
