Buy Epzicom

Epzicom (Abacavir/Lamivudine) is used along with other antiretroviral medications to treat and control human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Epzicom contains two active medications, Abacavir and Lamivudine, which both belong to a group of antiretroviral medications called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works through the action of these two medications by blocking the action of the enzymes needed by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to multiply. Epzicom is not a cure for HIV infection as it is only used to control the infection and improve the quality of life of individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
