Lamivudine and abacavir is a fixed-dose combination antiviral medication used in the treatment of HIV infection. Both drugs are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) that inhibit viral replication by acting as chain terminators during reverse transcription. The combination is widely approved and recommended as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for adults, adolescents, and children with HIV.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for healthy adult HIV-negative volunteers; fixed-dose combination tablet administered orally.
