 Combivir is a combination of AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir) and 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir). Of the 3 medications you are currently taking, AZT is the likely culprit and the one to jettison. If you do not have a history of NNRTI exposure or resistance, then substituting Viramune or Sustiva would be the logical choice. Thanks for posting and best of luck! | ||||||||
