How Diavix works
Diavix is a combination of two anti-HIV medicines: Lamivudine and Zidovudine. They prevent HIV (virus) from multiplying, thereby reducing the amount of virus in your body. They also increase the CD4 cell (white blood cells that protect against infection) count in your blood.
Quick Tips
- Diavix is a combination of two medicines which slows down or stops the progression of HIV infections.
- It may also be used for preventing HIV and should be started within 72 hours of exposure to HIV.
- Take it with food, as this increases the absorption of the medicine into the body.
- Diavix may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
- Skipping doses increases the risk of treatment failure. Make sure that you take all your doses at the correct time.
- Always practice safe sex while taking Diavix. Do not share needles or personal items that can have blood or body fluids on them.
- It may cause weakening of your bones. Exercise regularly and take calcium and vitamin D supplements as suggested by your doctor.

Renal Dose
Renal impairment:
CrCl (ml/min) Dosage Recommendation
<50 Not recommended, use separate preparations
Contraindication
Neutrophil count <0.75 x 109/l; haemoglobin levels <7.5 g/dl or 4.65 mmol/l. Lactation.
Mode of Action
Lamivudine: NRTI; following phosphorylation, inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase by viral DNA chain termination; cytosine analog
Zidovudine: NRTI; interferes with HIV viral RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (inhibits viral replication); thymidine analog
Precaution
Renal and hepatic impairment; poor bone marrow reserve prior to treatment; risk of opportunistic infection; patients (especially obese women) with risk factors for or active liver disease. Patients with low body wt should avoid the combined formulation. Separate formulations of lamivudine or zidovudine should not be given at the same time as the combined formulation. If dose adjustment is necessary for either component, separate formulations should be used. Monitor haematological parameters (advanced disease: 2 wkly for 1st 3 mth of treatment, then monthly; early disease: 1-3 mthly), LFTs, mean cell volume, serum creatinine kinase, viral load, CD4 counts and blood...

Potentially Fatal: Lactic acidosis associated with liver failure and pancreatitis (normally after several mth of treatment); haematological toxicity (eg neutropenia and severe anaemia).
Interaction
Zidovudine: acyclovir and valacyclovir may increase CNS depression. Increased risk of haematologic toxicity with ganciclovir, valganciclovir, dapsone, doxorubicin, vincristine and vinblastine. Doxorubicin may reduce phophorylation; fluconazole may increase levels/effects; increased risk of hepatic decompensation or haematologic toxicities with interferon-? and ribavirin (also increases risk of pancreatitis and lactic acidosis). Methadone may increase effects/levels. Increased risk of myalgia, malaise and/or fever, maculopapular rash and effects/levels with probenecid. Stavudine may decrease antiviral activity; valproic acid may increase plasma levels (AUC increased by 80%). Lamivudine: Increased risk of hepatic decompensation or haematologic toxicities with interferon-? and ribavirin (also increases risk of mitochondrial toxicity,...
