InflammationHeadacheInfectionViral
Lamivir 150 Tablet contains Lamivudine 150mg, an antiretroviral medication primarily used in the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Lamivudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) that works by inhibiting the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme critical for viral replication. By incorporating into the viral DNA chain, Lamivudine causes premature termination of DNA synthesis, thereby reducing viral load and slowing disease progression.
