Version May 2024
Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are co-infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and HIV-1 and have discontinued lamivudine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Monitor hepatic function closely in these patients and, if appropriate, initiate anti-hepatitis B treatment.
HIV-infection, treatment: Oral: One tablet (lamivudine 300 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg) once daily in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
HIV-1/hepatitis B co-infection, treatment: Oral: One tablet (lamivudine 300 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg) once daily in combination with other antiretroviral agents (Ref).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
CrCl ≥50 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary.
CrCl <50 mL/minute: Use of this combination product is not recommended.
ESRD requiring hemodialysis: Use of this combination product is not recommended.
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.
Refer to adult dosing.
(For additional information see "Lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Pediatric drug information")
Note: International Considerations: Tenofovir doses are expressed as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, consistent with US labeling; in some other countries, dosing may be expressed as tenofovir disoproxil base. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg is equivalent to tenofovir disoproxil base 245 mg.
HIV-1 infection, treatment: Note: Use in combination with other antiretroviral agents. Gene mutation and antiretroviral resistance patterns should be evaluated (refer to https://www.iasusa.org for more information) when necessary.
Children and Adolescents weighing ≥35 kg: Oral: 1 tablet (lamivudine 300 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg) once daily.
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
Children and Adolescents weighing ≥35 kg:
CrCl ≥50 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary.
CrCl <50 mL/minute: Use is not recommended; use individual antiretroviral agents to reduce dosage.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis: Use is not recommended; use individual antiretroviral agents to reduce dosage.
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.

Hypersensitivity to lamivudine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or any component of the formulation
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Decreased bone mineral density: In clinical trials, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate has been associated with decreases in bone mineral density in HIV-1 infected adults and increases in bone metabolism markers. Serum parathyroid hormone and 1,25 vitamin D levels were also higher. Effects on long-term bone health and future fracture risk, including long-term effects on skeletal growth in pediatric patients and effects of extended duration in younger children, are unknown. In all pediatric clinical trials, skeletal growth (height) was not affected. Consider monitoring of bone density in adults and pediatric patients with a history of pathologic fractures or with other risk factors for bone loss or osteoporosis. Consider calcium and vitamin D supplementation for all patients; effect of supplementation has not been studied, but may be beneficial. If abnormalities are suspected, expert assessment is recommended.
• Immune reconstitution syndrome: Patients may develop immune reconstitution syndrome resulting in the occurrence of an inflammatory response to an indolent or residual opportunistic infection during initial HIV treatment or activation of autoimmune disorders (eg, Graves disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome) later in therapy; further evaluation and treatment may be required.
• Lactic acidosis/hepatomegaly: Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, sometimes fatal, have been reported with use of nucleoside analogues, alone or in combination with other antiretrovirals. Suspend treatment in any patient who develops clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity (marked transaminase elevation may/may not accompany hepatomegaly and steatosis).
• Osteomalacia and renal dysfunction: May cause osteomalacia with proximal renal tubulopathy. Bone pain, extremity pain, fractures, arthralgias, weakness, and muscle pain have been reported. In patients at risk for renal dysfunction, persistent or worsening bone or muscle symptoms should be evaluated for hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia.
• Renal toxicity: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may cause renal toxicity (acute renal failure and/or Fanconi syndrome); avoid use with concurrent or recent nephrotoxic therapy (including high dose or multiple nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug [NSAID] use). Acute renal failure has occurred in HIV-infected patients with risk factors for renal impairment who were on a stable tenofovir disoproxil fumarate regimen to which a high dose or multiple NSAID therapy was added. Consider alternatives to NSAIDS in patients taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and at risk for renal impairment. Calculate estimated CrCl and assess serum creatinine, serum phosphorus, urine glucose, and urine protein prior to treatment initiation and during therapy in all patients. IDSA guidelines recommend discontinuing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (and substituting with alternative antiretroviral therapy) in HIV-infected patients who develop a decline in GFR (a >25% decrease in GFR from baseline and to a level of <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2) during use, particularly in presence of proximal tubular dysfunction (eg, euglycemic glycosuria, increased urinary phosphorus excretion and hypophosphatemia, proteinuria [new onset or worsening]) (IDSA [Lucas 2014]).
Disease-related concerns:
• Renal impairment: Do not use in patients with CrCl <50 mL/minute or requiring hemodialysis.
Special populations:
• Pediatric: Use with caution in pediatric patients with a history of prior antiretroviral nucleoside exposure or pancreatitis, or other significant risk factors for development of pancreatitis.
The major clinical toxicity of lamivudine in pediatric patients is pancreatitis, which has occurred in 14% of patients in one open-label, uncontrolled trial; discontinue lamivudine therapy if clinical signs, symptoms, or laboratory abnormalities suggestive of pancreatitis occur. Use with extreme caution and only if there is no satisfactory alternative therapy in pediatric patients with a history of pancreatitis or other significant risk factors for the development of pancreatitis.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) disrupts vitamin D metabolism and has been associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in adults and children. Plasma concentrations of the TDF metabolite tenofovir (TFV) have been associated with endocrine disruption and low BMD; tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is associated with lower plasma TFV concentrations and less decline in BMD than TDF. Data suggest the impact may be greater in children who are less mature (eg, sexual maturity ratings [SMRs] 1 to 2 [previously Tanner stages]) than in those with more advanced pubertal development (SMR ≥3). The potential for BMD loss during the important period of rapid bone accrual in childhood and early adolescence is concerning and favors use of abacavir or TAF in children with SMRs 1 to 3 (children with perinatally acquired HIV are already at risk for low peak bone mass). Prior to initiation of therapy, assessment of benefits versus potential risk should be assessed; with TDF therapy, monitor plasma vitamin D concentrations; supplement with vitamin D as needed; calcium carbonate supplementation may also be considered. Monitoring of BMD may be considered in patients with additional risk factors for decreased bone density (HHS [pediatric] 2022).

The Health and Human Services perinatal HIV guidelines consider lamivudine in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate a preferred combination for patients with HIV infection who are not yet pregnant but are trying to conceive (HHS [perinatal] 2021).
Refer to individual monographs for additional information.
The Health and Human Services perinatal HIV guidelines consider lamivudine in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to be one of the preferred nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbones for initial therapy in antiretroviral-naive pregnant patients. This combination is also preferred for pregnant patients with HIV infection who have had antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the past but are restarting, or who require a new ART regimen (due to poor tolerance or poor virologic response of current regimen). Patients who become pregnant while taking this combination may continue if viral suppression is effective and the regimen is well tolerated. The guidelines also consider lamivudine plus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to be a recommended dual NRTI backbone in regimens for HIV/hepatitis B virus-coinfected pregnant patients (HHS [perinatal] 2021).
Refer to individual monographs for additional information.
Lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate are present in breast milk.
Refer to individual monographs for additional information.
Consider calcium and vitamin D supplementation
CD4 count, HIV RNA plasma levels; serum creatinine, serum phosphorous, urine glucose, urine protein, and estimated creatinine clearance (prior to initiation and as clinically indicated during therapy); hepatic function tests, bone density (patients with a history of bone fracture or have risk factors for bone loss); testing for hepatitis B virus (HBV) is recommended prior to the initiation of antiretroviral therapy. Patients with HIV and HBV coinfection should be monitored for several months following therapy discontinuation.
Lamivudine: Cytosine analog that is phosphorylated intracellularly to its active 5’-triphosphate metabolite. The principal mode of action is inhibition of HIV reverse transcription via viral DNA chain termination; inhibits RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities of reverse transcriptase.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor; analog of adenosine 5' monophosphate that interferes with the HIV viral RNA dependent DNA polymerase resulting in inhibition of viral replication. TDF is first converted intracellularly by hydrolysis to tenofovir and subsequently phosphorylated to the active tenofovir diphosphate.
