Combivir is used to fight the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS. It is a combination product containing the two AIDS drugs, lamivudine and zidovudine. It is intended for use with additional AIDS drugs. HIV does its damage by slowly destroying the immune system, eventually leaving the body defenseless against infections. The drugs in Combivir interfere with the virus’s ability to reproduce, thus staving off the decline of the immune system and preserving better health.
