Product Introduction
Lapaz Tablet is an antiretroviral medication containing the active constituents Atazanavir, Lamivudine, Ritonavir, and Zidovudine. It is used to treat HIV-1 infection in combination with other medicines. HIV-1 is a human immunodeficiency virus that attacks and destroys immune cells. As a result, the body's ability to fight infections decreases, and without proper treatment, the infection can progress to death. Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, hepatitis B or C, kidney disease, or heart disorders. Lapaz Tablet can slow the progression of HIV-1 infection and improve immune function. Administration of this medicine may lead to immune reconstitution syndrome, a condition where antiviral drugs can temporarily worsen symptoms of previous infections. Do not share personal objects such as razors, towels, or toothbrushes with others. Individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to Atazanavir, Ritonavir, Lamivudine, Zidovudine, or other medication components should not use it. The safety and effectiveness of this medication in paediatric populations may differ from that in adults. Dosage adjustments and close monitoring may be necessary when using this medication in children.
