What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Epivir HBV Overview
Epivir HBV is used with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life. Lamivudine belongs to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors-NRTI. Lamivudine is not a cure for HIV infection. To decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, continue to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during sexual activity as directed by your doctor. Do not share personal items (such as needles/syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Epivir HBV Warnings
If you have hepatitis B infection along with HIV, your hepatitis symptoms may get worse or become very serious if you stop taking lamivudine. Talk with your doctor before stopping Epivir HBV. Your doctor will perform liver function tests for several months after you stop lamivudine. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of worsening liver problems. Different brands of Epivir HBV have different amounts of drug. Do not switch brands of Epivir HBV without first checking with your doctor. If you have HIV infection (with or without hepatitis B infection), you should be taking the higher-strength dosage. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How to Use Epivir HBV
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking lamivudine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take Epivir HBV by mouth with or without food, usually once or twice daily or as directed by your doctor. The Dosage of Epivir HBV is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the Dosage of Epivir HBV is also based on weight. It is very important to continue taking Epivir HBV (and other HIV medications) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses. Do not increase your dose, take Epivir HBV more often than prescribed, or stop taking it (or other HIV medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Skipping or changing your dose without approval from your doctor may cause the amount of virus to increase, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or worsen side effects. For the best effect, take Epivir HBV at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take Epivir HBV at the same time(s) every day.
Epivir HBV Precautions
Before taking lamivudine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. Epivir HBV may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before using Epivir HBV, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,pancreatitis, kidney problems, liver problems (such as hepatitis B or C, cirrhosis), alcohol use. Avoid alcoholic beverages because they may increase your risk for liver problems and/or pancreatitis. Epivir HBV may make you dizzy. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness until you can do it safely. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Talk to your doctor if you are using marijuana (cannabis). Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). Caution is advised when using Epivir HBV in children because they may be more sensitive to the effects of the drug, especially the increased risk of pancreatitis. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using Epivir HBV. Treatment can lower the risk of passing HIV infection to your baby. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Lamivudine passes into breast milk. Because breast milk can transmit HIV, do not breast-feed.
