Epivir : Important Information
- Epivir should not be taken together with another medication that contains a combination of lamivudine and zidovudine (Combivir).
- Before taking lamivudine, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, a pancreas disorder, or problems with your muscles.
- Call your doctor at once if you have liver problems while you are using Epivir. Symptoms to watch for include stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
- Consumption of Epivir tablets may lower the blood cell count, which in turn lowers the ability of your body to fight infections. This can expose you to a higher risk of attracting external infections. Any injury can lead to an increased bleeding. In order to maintain the ideal blood cell count, you should get your blood tested on a regular basis.
- If you have hepatitis B you may develop liver symptoms after you stop taking Epivir. Your doctor may want to check your liver function on a regular basis for several months after you stop using this medication. Do not miss any scheduled visits.
- Epivir may cause lactic acidosis (the build up of lactic acid in the body). Lactic acidosis symptoms can start slowly and gradually get worse. Symptoms include unusual muscle pain and weakness, trouble in breathing, fast or uneven heart rate, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and numbness or cold feeling in your arms or legs. Call your doctor at once if any of these symptoms persists. Early symptoms of lactic acidosis generally get worse which might turn out to be fatal.
- Epivir tablets and liquid contains a higher dose of lamivudine than Epivir-HBV. Epivir is used to treat HIV and Epivir-HBV is used to treat hepatitis B. While refilling any of these medications, make sure you have refilled the correct brand.
What is Epivir?
