Therapeutic Effects of Lazid N Tablet

Lazid N Tablet is a combination of three antiretroviral medicines. Lamivudine and Zidovudine work by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV, restricting viral genome replication, and reducing the production of new infectious viral particles. It mainly interferes with reverse transcription and inhibits the spread of HIV. Nevirapine directly binds to reverse transcriptase (RT) and blocks RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase activities by disrupting the enzyme. 

Interaction of Lazid N Tablet with other drugs

Inform your healthcare provider about all your medicines, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional, supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications, including ganciclovir, interferon alfa, and ribavirin, may exacerbate the toxicity of zidovudine interaction with Lazid N Tablet and reduce its effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
