INTRODUCTION ABALAM 600/300 is a combination of Abacavir and Lamivudine which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-viral agents. It is used in the management of HIV infection in adults, adolescents and in children (weighing above 25 kgs). HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is a viral infection that damages our immune system and weakens our body’s ability to fight against various infections.
