Usage

Kivexa (Abacavir/Lamivudine) is a medicine used in combination with other antiretrovirals to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Kivexa contains the active ingredients abacavir sulfate and lamivudine. These belong to a group of anti-retroviral medicines called nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), which are used to treat HIV infection. Kivexa does not cure HIV; it reduces the amount of virus in your body, and keeps it at a low level. It also increases the CD4 cell count in your blood which are a type of white blood cells that are important in helping your body fight infection. You must be sure to be seen regularly by your health care provider. Take Kivexa exactly as your doctor has advised you, and try not to miss any doses. Kivexa can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Kivexa is not recommended for the treatment of children and adolescents weighing less than 25 kg as the necessary dose adjustment cannot be made.
