Stavudine, lamivudine, and nevirapine is a fixed-dose combination antiretroviral medication used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Each component targets HIV replication by different mechanisms: stavudine and lamivudine are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), while nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). This combination remains in use in resource-limited settings but is not a preferred regimen in current HIV treatment guidelines due to concerns about toxicity and resistance.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated based on published ranges for healthy adult HIV-infected patients receiving the fixed-dose combination orally.
