Lamivudine is often used with other antiviral drugs to increase the effectiveness of treatment.
During the use of lamivudine, some side effects may occur, including headache, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain and other minor discomforts. Serious side effects are less common, but patients should pay close attention to any unusual symptoms and tell their doctor right away.
In Hong Kong, lamivudine is a commonly used antiviral drug, and doctors will determine the appropriate dosage and treatment plan based on the patient's specific condition and the degree of viral infection. Patients should use medications strictly as directed by their doctor to ensure maximum treatment effects and reduce potential risks.
