To ensure safe and effective use, take this medication as directed by your doctor. Usually, this medication should be taken by mouth once daily, with or without food. Note that this is a fixed-dose combination product containing specific doses of abacavir and lamivudine, so it should only be taken if your doctor determines that the doses are appropriate for you. Refill your medication before running out, and do not stop treatment unless directed by your doctor.
If necessary, before restarting any medication containing this active ingredient, consult your doctor or pharmacist, and make sure you have access to immediate medical care. Compliance is key, and it is essential to take this medication (and other HIV medications) precisely as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses, change the dosage, or take this drug more frequently than recommended. Do not stop taking it (or any other HIV medicines) without your doctor’s approval, as doing so can increase the amount of virus in your body, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or exacerbate side effects. Optimal outcomes can be achieved by taking this medication at uniformly spaced intervals, such as the same time daily.
