What is Trizivir?

Trizivir is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured for ViiV Healthcare.

Trizivir is a combination of abacavir, lamivudine, and zidovudine, which are nucleoside analog HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. It is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV infection in adults, adolescents, and children who weigh at least 88 lb (40 kg). It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This HIV treatment is recommended only when an NNRTI-based or a protease inhibitor-based regimen cannot or should not be used.

Trizivir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include allergic reactions, a buildup of lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis), liver problems, muscle pain or weakness (myopathy), and blood disorders such as extremely reduced numbers of red blood cells (severe anemia) or reduced numbers of white blood cells (neutropenia).

Patients who carry the HLA-B*5701 allele are at a higher risk of experiencing a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir. Never restart Trizivir or any other abacavir-containing product following a hypersensitivity reaction.

Hematologic toxicity, including neutropenia and anemia, has been associated with the use of zidovudine. Symptomatic myopathy is associated with prolonged use of zidovudine. Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported.

Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are co-infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and have discontinued lamivudine.

What doses of Trizivir are available?

Trizivir is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 300 mg abacavir, 150 mg lamivudine, and 300 mg zidovudine.

Before initiating treatment, screen for the HLA-B*5701 allele. Adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg should take 1 tablet twice daily. Trizivir is a fixed-dose tablet and cannot be dose adjusted. It is not recommended in patients requiring dosage adjustment or patients with hepatic impairment.

You will need regular blood tests to check your blood cell counts while you are taking this medication. Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Trizivir active ingredients

Trizivir tablets contain the following 3 synthetic nucleoside analogs, abacavir sulfate (Ziagen), lamivudine (Epivir), and zidovudine (Retrovir, or ZDV) with inhibitory activity against HIV-1. All 3 belong to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).

Abacavir is an antiviral carbocyclic synthetic nucleoside analog, converted by cellular enzymes to the active metabolite, carbovir triphosphate (CBV-TP). Lamivudine is a synthetic nucleoside analog, phosphorylated to its active 5′-triphosphate metabolite. Zidovudine is a synthetic nucleoside analog phosphorylated to its active 5′-triphosphate metabolite, zidovudine triphosphate (ZDV-TP).

Trizivir side effects

The most common side effects of Trizivir in clinical trials include:

  • Nausea, headache, malaise and fatigue, and nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite

In rare instances, Trizivir can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Hepatic decompensation
  • Exacerbation of anemia
  • Immune reconstitution syndrome and redistribution/accumulation of body fat

Stop taking Trizivir and call your doctor at once if you have signs of an allergic reaction -fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, stomach pain, extreme tiredness, body aches; shortness of breath, cough, sore throat.

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Trizivir against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Trizivir to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Trizivir can interact with other medications. These include:

  • Methadone
  • Agents antagonistic with zidovudine
