What if I forget to take a dose of Lamivir?
If you forget a dose of Lamivir, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose in the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
What is drug resistance? Can I develop drug resistance with Lamivir?
Drug resistance is a state where the medicine which was once effective in treating an infection becomes ineffective. This mainly happens due to the ability acquired by the virus or bacteria to get modified inside the body which affects the overall working of the medicine. Hence, the medicine is no longer able to fight against the virus or bacteria. Generally, drug resistance with Lamivir is more likely to happen if you take less dose than what is recommended.
How long should I take Lamivir?
Do not stop taking entecavir without consulting your doctor. Stopping entecavir before treatment may worsen your hepatitis. This can happen during the first several months after you stop taking entecavir. Take the medicine strictly as advised and do not miss any dose.
What if HIV infection co-exists with HBV infection? Will this affect treatment with Lamivir?
In HBV patients who are diagnosed with HIV, Lamivir is not recommended until and unless these patients start taking medicines for HIV management. Starting Lamivir in such patients may cause resistance to the prescribed HIV medicines. Therefore, doctors recommend tests for HIV in patients diagnosed with HBV infection before starting treatment with Lamivir.
