Description: This combination tablet is a potent antiretroviral medication used in the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The formulation combines three active ingredients: Dolutegravir, Lamivudine, and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, each of which plays a crucial role in controlling HIV. By inhibiting viral replication, this medication helps in managing HIV infection, reducing viral load, and increasing CD4 cell counts, thereby improving the immune system’s function and slowing the progression of the disease.

• Convenient once-daily tablet enhances patient compliance and ease of use.
• Helps in reducing viral load to undetectable levels, improving immune function.
• Ensures all three drugs are administered together, reducing the pill burden.

Side effects:

Caution:
• To be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider experienced in HIV management.

• The medication can be used during pregnancy but under strict medical supervision. Not recommended during breastfeeding due to the potential risk of passing the medication to the baby.
• It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed regimen to prevent the development of drug resistance.
