I've been prescribed Lamivudine 10mg/ml Oral Solution to treat my chronic Hepatitis B. I've heard it's also used for HIV treatment, but I'm not sure how it works for either condition. Can anyone share their experience with this medication? Is it effective? What side effects should I be aware of? I've read about some pretty serious ones like lactic acidosis and pancreatitis. How common are these? What should I do if I experience any side effects? Also, how does it interact with other medications? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Viread powder is a critical medication for treating HIV and chronic hepatitis B (HBV) in children who struggle with pills. It works by halting the multiplication of these viruses in the body, making it especially useful for younger patients. The powder form ensures easier administration, a key factor for parents and caregivers. However, like all medications, it comes with a list of possible side effects, ranging from mild to severe. It's essential to be well-informed about these potential issues and to consult with healthcare providers for guidance.
