Precautions of Lamivir 150mg (Lamivudine 150mg)

The potency of lamivudine for HIV/HBV co infected patients has not been evaluated. Rise of hepatitis B infection variations related with protection from lamivudine has additionally been accounted for in HIV-1-contaminated subjects who have gotten lamivudine-containing antiretroviral regimens within the sight of simultaneous disease with hepatitis B infection.

Hypersensitivity reactions :

The most serious adverse reactions occur during Lamivir 150mg (Lamivudine 150mg) therapy is hypersensitivity reactions. This severe effect is occurs due to presence of two nucleoside analogues in Lamivir 150mg (Lamivudine 150mg). Major symptoms are; Diarrhea GI disorders Fever Rash Respiratory problems Patient who are having a gene called HLA-B*5701 allele should have greater extent for hypersensitivity effects due to abacavir. To avoid this condition, patient must be screened for HLA-B*5701 allele before initiating the treatment with Lamivir 150mg (Lamivudine 150mg).

Aggravation of hepatitis B :

This is occurred in patients who are affected by HIV/HBV co infection. Monitor the patient’s hepatic functions very closely for preventing this fatal case. In severe condition, continue the anti-hepatitis drugs.

Renal & liver damage :

Patient with creatinine clearance <50ml/min, Lamivir 150mg (Lamivudine 150mg) should not be used. For severe liver damage, this medication should not be used.

Immune reconstitution syndrome :

If this fatal case occurs, discontinue the treatment.

Fat redistribution :

This may leads to obesity majorly occurred in women. To overcome the problem patient should be treated with alternative measures and in severe condition stop the treatment.
