Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine

Buy Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine Online from Licensed Canadian Pharmacies

Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine combines two active ingredients into one convenient daily tablet and is a trusted medication to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). It’s a virus that attacks the body’s immune cells, especially CD4 T-cells, which help you fight infections.

HIV spreads through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to baby during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Without treatment, it slowly weakens your immune system and makes everyday infections (like a cold) more dangerous.

Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine, together, functions by blocking the virus from multiplying, which eventually lowers the viral load (amount of virus in your blood) and allows the immune system to recover.

This effective combination is often prescribed alongside other antiretroviral medicines, forming a strong backbone of HIV treatment. With consistent use, many patients see their CD4 counts rise, and their viral levels drop to “undetectable,” supporting longer, healthier, and more active lives.

This medicine is available in 600 mg/300 mg strength and comes in packs of 30 tablets. Since it requires a prescription, patients can safely order Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine from Canada through trusted pharmacies.

Drug Summary

What Is Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine Used For?

It is used to treat:

• HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents (in combination with other antiretroviral drugs).

What Are the Benefits of Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine?

• Increases in CD4 T-cell (infection-fighting white blood cell) count further help the immune system recover and function better.
• It is a convenient once-daily HIV treatment option.
• As part of effective antiretroviral therapy, it can help people with HIV lead longer, healthier, and more active lives.
• Also, it lowers HIV viral load, often to “undetectable” levels when used with a complete regimen and good adherence.

Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine Dosage for HIV Treatment

• For adults: Take one 600 mg/300 mg (abacavir sulfate /lamivudine) tablet per day.
• For children (who weigh at least 25 kg): Take only one tablet every day at the same time.
• For children (who weigh less than 25 kg): The dose and use will be decided by your health care provider.

How Do You Take Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine?

• Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine 600 mg/300 mg tablets must be taken at the same time every day until your doctor advises otherwise.
• Take it with food or without it as directed.
• There is no need for you to crush, split, or chew the tablets. Swallow them whole with water.
• Do take it together with other antiretroviral medicines, as it is not a complete treatment by itself.
• Let every doctor or pharmacist you see know that you take Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine so they can check for drug interactions and avoid overlapping medicines that contain the same ingredients.

How Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine Works

Abacavir and lamivudine are both nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). HIV uses an enzyme also known as reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material from RNA into DNA inside human CD4 cells.

Abacavir is a synthetic analog of guanosine, and lamivudine is an analog of cytidine. Once inside the body, they are converted to active triphosphate forms that mimic natural building blocks of viral DNA.

When reverse transcriptase tries to use these “false” building blocks, they cause DNA chain termination. It is so the virus cannot finish copying its DNA. With consistent use alongside a fully suppressive regimen, this reduces HIV replication, lowers viral load, and gives your immune system a chance to strengthen and function better.

Abacavir and lamivudine, these combination HIV antiviral medications, do not kill existing virus, and they do not remove HIV from the body. Still, they form a critical part of long-term viral suppression.

Side Effects of Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine

What Are the Side Effects of Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine?

Common Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine side effects may include:

• Headache
• Tiredness
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Cough, sore throat, or runny nose
• Low-grade fever or general “flu-like” feeling
• Joint or muscle pain
• Skin rash (which can be mild but may also be an early sign of hypersensitivity)
• Swelling of the legs or feet, or mild weight gain in some patients.

Serious side effects: Be aware of these severe effects as they may rarely occur, but if they ever happen, call your doctor right away:

• Abacavir hypersensitivity reaction
• Lactic acidosis & severe hepatomegaly with steatosis (enlarged, fatty liver)
• Severe liver problems (hepatitis, liver failure, or marked elevations in liver enzymes)
• Worsening hepatitis B after stopping lamivudine in people co-infected with HIV and HBV
• Possible increased risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Pancreatitis or blood problems
• Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS)

Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine Warnings

Boxed Warnings:

• Serious allergy risk: Abacavir can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction (hypersensitivity).
• Anyone who has ever had this reaction must never take abacavir again, because re-exposure can be fatal.
• All patients must be tested for the HLA-B\*5701 gene (a genetic marker linked to this allergy). If positive, abacavir must not be used.
• Lactic acidosis & liver enlargement: Rare cases of lactic acidosis (dangerous acid buildup in the blood) and severe liver enlargement with fat buildup have occurred with drugs in this class.
• Hepatitis B flares: Stopping lamivudine in people who have both HIV and chronic hepatitis B (HBV) can cause a sudden worsening of hepatitis, so liver tests must be monitored closely.

Other important warnings related to Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine:

• Abacavir may slightly increase the risk of a heart attack in people dealing with heart disease or multiple cardiac risk factors.
• The combination (Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine) tablet is not recommended in people with creatinine clearance lower than 30 mL/min or mild liver impairment. It is contraindicated in moderate to severe liver disease.
• Do not take other medicines that contain abacavir or lamivudine at the same time. It is to avoid an overdose.
• After starting HIV treatment, the immune system may “wake up,” which can unmask hidden infections. This is called immune reconstitution syndrome.

When you buy Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine online from Canada, take these precautions while using it:

• Before you start your treatment with this HIV medicine, your health care specialist will review your medical history, including:
• Kidney and liver function,
• Heart risk factors,
• And your HLA-B\*5701 test results.
• Take your dose every day exactly as prescribed. Do not stop suddenly.
• Attend routine visits for:
• Viral load and CD4 tests
• Liver and kidney tests
• Heart risk assessment
• Continue safe-sex practices (for example, condoms) because treatment does not eliminate HIV transmission risk instantly.
• Carry your abacavir hypersensitivity warning card, make sure emergency providers know you take (or previously took) abacavir.
• Never share HIV medication with anyone.
• If side effects make it hard to take your medicine, call your provider instead of skipping or stopping doses.

Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of abacavir/lamivudine and remember it the same day, then take it as soon as you recall. After that, take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule.

If you miss more than one dose, call your doctor immediately, particularly if you have ever had symptoms of abacavir hypersensitivity, because stopping and restarting abacavir may carry additional risk.

Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine Overdose

Don’t overdose on Abacavir Sulfate / Lamivudine. It simply increases your risk of side effects, including:

• Hypersensitivity-type symptoms

If you or someone else may have taken too many tablets, call 911 or the Poison Control Center at their toll-free number 1-800-222-1222.
