Not Recommended Due to Lack of Dosage Adjustment
Because EPZICOM is a fixed‑dose tablet and cannot be dose adjusted, EPZICOM is not recommended for:
- •
- patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL per minute.
- •
- patients with mild hepatic impairment. EPZICOM is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment.
Use of EPIVIR (lamivudine) oral solution or tablets and ZIAGEN (abacavir) oral solution may be considered.
