Product Introduction

Xapavir LT tablet contains Dolutegravir, Lamivudine, and Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Dolutegravir is an antiviral medicine belonging to the integrase inhibitor class. Lamivudine and Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate are antiretroviral medicines. This medicine is indicated for treatment of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection in adults and children weighing 40 kg or greater. Lamivudine and Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate are nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) that work by inhibiting HIV reverse transcriptase, an enzyme essential for viral replication. During treatment with this medicine, patients may still develop infections related to HIV. Although effective antiretroviral therapy reduces the risk, HIV transmission remains possible when using this medication. Contact your doctor for further information. Do not take Xapavir LT tablet if you are allergic to Dolutegravir, Lamivudine, Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or any other ingredient in this medicine. Patients with pancreatitis or at risk of pancreatitis should use this combination with caution. During treatment, your doctor may periodically monitor blood counts, bone mineral density, and liver and kidney function to prevent serious complications. Inform your doctor if you have a history of lactic acidosis (excess lactic acid), pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), bone disease (osteonecrosis—death of bone tissue), fractures, chronic hepatitis B, or kidney problems. Inform your doctor if you are planning pregnancy or suspect you may be pregnant. Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking Xapavir LT tablet due to potential transmission of HIV infection to the infant.
