Epivir 150 mg contains lamivudine (also known as "3TC"), a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) used with other antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV-1 infection.
Inside cells, lamivudine is converted into an active triphosphate form that inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase and blocks viral DNA synthesis. It helps reduce viral replication when taken as part of a full antiretroviral regimen, in line with standard HIV treatment practice in the UK.
Epivir is mainly used to treat people living with HIV and is not used on its own for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). For prevention, clinical guidelines usually recommend dedicated PrEP options, such as tenofovir/emtricitabine or long-acting cabotegravir, depending on eligibility and local guidance.
For PrEP or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) options, speak to a clinician in the UK to find the most suitable choice.
Abacavir + lamivudine (ABC/3TC) is a widely used backbone combination for HIV treatment. In some countries, it is available as a single fixed-dose tablet (for example, Epzicom or Kivexa) and is taken with at least one other antiretroviral medicine.
Before starting abacavir-containing regimens, clinicians usually consider human leukocyte antigen B*5701 (HLA-B*5701) screening because of the risk of serious hypersensitivity reactions.

I live in Leeds and want to make sure this medicine can be delivered to my postcode before I place an order. How can I check?
Enter your Leeds postcode at checkout to see whether delivery is available for your address before completing the order. Availability can vary, so checkout is the most reliable place to confirm it.
I have found what appears to be the same lamivudine generic elsewhere for almost half the price. Why should I order from you instead?
We stand behind the quality of the generic medicines we offer. We cannot verify what another seller supplies, how it is sourced or handled, or whether a similarly named cheaper product is genuinely equivalent in manufacturer, origin and quality. The choice is yours, but it is worth deciding whether the saving outweighs that uncertainty.
I work rotating shifts and realised after getting home that I missed my morning lamivudine dose. Should I take two tablets at my next usual time?
Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose. Take the missed dose when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next one; in that case, skip it and continue your usual schedule. If missed doses are becoming frequent, ask your HIV clinic or pharmacist for a dosing plan that fits your shifts.

These Tablets look different in colour and shape from the branded ones I got at the pharmacy, but what mattered to me was the same lamivudine inside.
Epivir used to cost a touch less, but these lamivudine Tablets still feel worth every penny for the quality.
When I lived in London delivery of these lamivudine Tablets was two or three days quicker, though I can't promise that for everyone; still good value out here in Southampton.
The outer packaging arrived plain and neutral, with nothing on the box hinting at what the Tablets actually were.
