  11. Lamivir HBV Tablets (Generic Lamivudine HBV Tablets) Warnings Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who have discontinued anti-hepatitis B therapy (including Lamivudine- HBV). Monitor hepatic function closely in these patients and, if appropriate, initiate anti-hepatitis B treatment. Lamivudine-HBV tablets and oral solution contain a lower dose of the same active ingredient (Lamivudine) as Lamivudine tablets (Lamivir) and oral solution used to treat HIV-1 infection. HIV-1 resistance may emerge in chronic hepatitis B patients with unrecognized or untreated HIV-1 infection because the lamivudine dosage in Lamivudine-HBV is subtherapeutic and monotherapy is inappropriate for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
