Overview

Abacavir, Lamivudine, and Zidovudine tablets are a combination medication used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. This combination therapy, often a part of antiretroviral therapy (ART), is crucial in managing HIV infection.

 It works by reducing the amount of HIV in the body, thereby boosting the immune system and reducing the risk of HIV-related illnesses. This combination does not cure HIV or AIDS, but it significantly slows the progression of the disease.
