Lamivudine/Zidovudine
A combination of two synthetic nucleoside analogues with synergistic antiviral properties. Lamivudine is phosphorylated intracellularly to its active 5'-triphosphate metabolite, lamivudine triphosphate (L-TP); zidovudine is phosphorylated to its active 5'-triphosphate metabolite, zidovudine triphosphate (ZDV-TP). These active metabolites inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral reverse transcriptase (RT) by incorporating into viral DNA and terminating viral DNA chain elongation. (NCI Thesaurus)
