Question

Is LA75 for people?

Hello, pls is LA 75 for people?

Answer

Hi, how are you?

Using the embossed number alone I cannot identify this drug.

Please contact the pharmacy where you got this pill? They will be able to identify and provide more accurate information.

    Hello Nherz and thanks for getting in touch

    The new medication is considered better and well tolerated in a lot of clinical studies and real world evidence.

    So it’s actually good you were switched.

    I am guessing you were just answering the question as to whether it can be used in humans?

    Hi Fidelis, as mentioned in the main stem this tablet should be identified by a pharmacist. Though in the context of HIV, LA 75 is usually lamivudine.

    Lamivudine alone is not used as PEP. PEP is a course of 3 drugs, usually lamivudine combined with tenofovir and dolutegravir. Had you only been given this one tablet to be used as PEP?

    For more information about PEP please see here: https://i-base.info/qa/factsheets/pep-faq

    Will LA 75 alone work as PEP?
