Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier of high-stability antiretroviral and antiviral therapies. We provide premium Lamivudine Tablets, manufactured in WHO–GMP certified dedicated antiviral blocks. As an essential component of HIV and Hepatitis B management, this product is a primary export for infectious disease centers, HIV/AIDS clinics, and Ministry of Health (MOH) tenders in Southeast Asia, Africa, and the CIS region.
Product Overview
Lamivudine (3TC) is a synthetic nucleoside analogue with potent activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). It is engineered to be incorporated into viral DNA, acting as a definitive chain terminator to stop viral replication.
The “Replication Inhibitor” Specialist:
- Mechanism of Action: Lamivudine is phosphorylated intracellularly to its active metabolite, lamivudine triphosphate. This metabolite competes with natural substrates for Viral Reverse Transcriptase (in HIV) and HBV Polymerase. Once incorporated into the growing DNA chain, it lacks the 3′-hydroxyl group necessary for further linkage, resulting in premature DNA chain termination.
- Synergistic Versatility: In HIV therapy, Lamivudine is rarely used alone; it is a foundational “backbone” agent used in combination with other antiretrovirals (like Zidovudine or Tenofovir) to prevent drug resistance and maximize viral suppression.
- Hepatitis B Efficacy: At lower dosages (100 mg), it is a potent treatment for Chronic Hepatitis B, significantly reducing viral load and improving liver histology and transaminase levels.

Manufacturing Authority
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- High Enantiomeric Purity: Lamivudine is the negative enantiomer of a thiacytidine analogue. Our manufacturing ensures 100% chiral purity, as the specific $(-)$ enantiomer provides the highest therapeutic index with the lowest toxicity.
- Advanced Coating: We utilize specialized moisture-barrier film coatings to protect the API from hydrolysis, ensuring the product remains stable for 36 months in tropical export environments.
- Bioequivalence Standards: Every batch is tested to ensure the dissolution profile and pharmacokinetic parameters ($C_{max}$ and $AUC$) match the innovator brand (Epivir/Zeffix), ensuring predictable viral suppression.
Therapeutic Indications & Clinical Symptoms
- HIV-1 Infection: Part of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) for the treatment of HIV-infected adults and children.
- Chronic Hepatitis B: Management of patients with compensated liver disease and evidence of active viral replication.
- Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP): Used in combination with other agents following potential exposure to HIV.
Dosage & Administration
- HIV Dose: Typically 300 mg daily (as a single dose or 150 mg twice daily).
- HBV Dose: 100 mg once daily.
- Administration: Can be taken with or without food.
- Safety Note: Dosage must be adjusted in patients with renal impairment ($CrCl < 50$ mL/min). Patients co-infected with HIV and HBV must use HIV-appropriate doses to avoid the development of resistant HBV strains.
