Combivir is a drug used to treat HIV. It contains a combination of two active ingredients that work to reduce the amount of virus in the blood and support the immune system to function better, helping to limit the progression of the disease and delay the onset of symptoms. It also helps improve the patient's quality of life. It should be taken regularly according to the doctor's instructions to ensure maximum benefit.
This drug targets the virus in different ways. Combivir inhibits its replication within the body's cells and limits its spread, giving the immune system a chance to regain its activity and perform its role in fighting infection. It can also be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program that includes other medications, with the need to adhere to the prescribed schedule and avoid abrupt discontinuation of treatment to maintain the drug's effectiveness and achieve better results.
