Question

My drug is labelled ‘LA75’…

I was using TLD and today I went to the another hospital they give me LA75 is it the same drug?(does it work the same)

Answer

Hi, how are you doing?

‘LA75’ is usually lamivudine. Lamviudine is part of TLD but it is not the entire combination. Were you given any other tablets?

It is best to check this with your pharmacist or the doctor who prescribed this at the hospital.

    Hi Toto, I cannot confirm this. You will need to speak with the pharmacist where your girlfriend was given this medication.

    My girlfriend is using LA75 from laurus lab it says dolitegravir, lamivudine fumarate tenofovir dixoprosil 50mg/300mg/300mg in one pill label LA75 she lives in Haiti, is that legit ?

    Hi Saphia, as mentioned in the main answer LA 75 is usually only one drug called lamviudine.

    LA 75 is used in combination with two other drugs, usually dolutegravir and tenofovir to form a combination called TLD.

    TLD is a suitable combination to be used as PEP.
