The Pharmacist’s Take By · Clinical pharmacist · Written

Triumeq (abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine) is a well-established, once-daily, single-tablet HIV-1 treatment, on the market since about 2014 and available only as the brand, that pairs dolutegravir, which blocks integrase, with abacavir and lamivudine, which block reverse transcriptase (two enzymes the virus needs to multiply). Most people tolerate it well, usually noticing only trouble sleeping, headache or tiredness. Its main boxed warning is a serious, sometimes fatal allergic reaction to abacavir (fever, rash, stomach upset, cough or feeling very unwell), so stop it, get help and never restart it. A second boxed warning covers hepatitis B flares if you stop it, so expect tests for hepatitis B and the HLA-B*5701 gene first.

Clinical pearls

  • Never combine it with dofetilide, a heart rhythm medicine, because dolutegravir can push dofetilide to dangerous levels.
  • If you take metformin or dalfampridine, tell that prescriber, since dolutegravir can raise levels of both.
  • Triumeq tablets and Triumeq PD tablets for oral suspension contain different dolutegravir amounts, so never swap one for the other.
  • The abacavir reaction usually starts within the first six weeks, so be most alert early, though it can happen anytime.
⚠️ FDA Boxed Warning — the FDA’s strongest safety alert ▾

Serious, sometimes fatal allergic reactions can happen with the abacavir in this medicine. They can affect several parts of the body at once. Your risk is higher if you carry the HLA-B*5701 gene, so you should be tested before you start.

If you may be having a reaction, stop the medicine right away and get medical help. Never restart it, or any abacavir-containing medicine, after a reaction. Symptoms can return more severely within hours.

This medicine also carries a risk for people with hepatitis B. You should be tested before starting. Lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B has been reported, and severe flare-ups of hepatitis B can occur if you stop this medicine. Your liver should be closely monitored if that happens.

Patient information guide A plain-language walkthrough of Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine, written from its FDA label.

What Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine is used for

▾

This three-drug combination treats HIV-1 infection.

  • Triumeq and Triumeq PD treat HIV-1 infection in adults.
  • They are also used in pediatric patients aged at least 3 months who weigh at least 6 kg.
  • They are not recommended alone if integrase inhibitor resistance is present or suspected.

How Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine works

▾

Dolutegravir is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). Abacavir and lamivudine are nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Together they attack HIV-1 at more than one step.

Because the dolutegravir dose in this combination is fixed, it is not enough if integrase inhibitor resistance is present.

Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine dosage

▾

Triumeq is taken by mouth once daily in adults. You can take it with or without food.

  • Get tested for HLA-B*5701 and hepatitis B before starting.
  • Children's dosing depends on body weight and uses Triumeq PD tablets for some weights.
  • Triumeq and Triumeq PD are not interchangeable milligram for milligram.

Follow your prescriber and the label.

Dosing details from the FDA-approved label

From the Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine prescribing information (“Dosage and Administration”). Doses are set by your prescriber for your product, condition, kidney function and age — never change a dose on your own.

  • Adults
    • One tablet of TRIUMEQ daily
    • May be taken with or without food
Read the label’s full dosing text

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Before initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, screen for the HLA‑B*5701 allele because TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD contain abacavir. ( 2.1 ). • Prior to or when initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, test patients for HBV infection. ( 2.2 ) • TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD may be taken with or without food. ( 2.4 , 2.5 ) • Adults: One tablet of TRIUMEQ daily. ( 2.4 ) ABC = abacavir, DTG = dolutegravir, 3TC = lamivudine. Pediatric Population Body Weight Number of Tablets (once daily) Recommended Daily Dose TRIUMEQ PD Tablets (6 kg to <25 kg) 6 kg to <10 kg 3 180 mg ABC, 15 mg DTG, and 90 mg 3TC 10 kg to <14 kg 4 240 mg ABC, 20 mg DTG, and 120 mg 3TC 14 kg to <20 kg 5 300 mg ABC, 25 mg DTG, and 150 mg 3TC 20 kg to <25 kg 6 360 mg ABC, 30 mg DTG, and 180 mg 3TC TRIUMEQ Tablets (≥25 kg) ≥25 kg 1 600 mg ABC, 50 mg DTG, and 300 mg 3TC • Do not substitute TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD on a milligram-per-milligram basis. ( 2.3 ) • If dosing with certain UGT1A or CYP3A inducers, then the recommended dolutegravir dosage regimen should be adjusted. See Table 2 for complete dosing recommendations. ( 2.6 ) • Because TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are fixed-dose tablets and cannot be dose adjusted, TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are not recommended in patients with creatinine clearance <30 mL/min and pediatric patients with a similar degree of renal impairment based on age-appropriate assessment of renal function, or patients with hepatic impairment. ( 2.7 , 4 ) 2.1 Screening for HLA−B*5701 Allele prior to Initiating TRIUMEQ Screen for the HLA‑B*5701 allele prior to initiating therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. 2.2 Testing prior to or When Initiating Treatment with TRIUMEQ Prior to or when initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, test patients for HBV infection [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . 2.3 Overview of TRIUMEQ Dosage Forms TRIUMEQ is available in two dosage forms. Do not substitute TRIUMEQ tablets and TRIUMEQ PD tablets for oral suspension on a milligram-per-milligram basis due to differing pharmacokinetic profiles for the dolutegravir component [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 ) , Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . • TRIUMEQ tablets: 600 mg of abacavir, 50 mg of dolutegravir, and 300 mg of lamivudine.

Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine side effects

▾

The most commonly reported side effects in people taking Triumeq were:

Common side effects

  • Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
  • Headache
  • Tiredness (fatigue)

When to get medical help

  • Stop the medicine and get medical help right away if you suspect an allergic reaction to abacavir. Signs include fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, feeling very unwell or achy, cough, shortness of breath, or sore throat.
  • Never restart this medicine, or any medicine containing abacavir, after a suspected hypersensitivity reaction. Symptoms can be worse and can lead to death within hours.
  • Tell your doctor about yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe stomach pain. These can signal liver problems (hepatotoxicity).
  • Tell your doctor if hepatitis B symptoms flare after stopping this medicine, if you have hepatitis B.
  • Report symptoms of lactic acidosis (a buildup of acid in the blood) or a severely enlarged, fatty liver. These have been seen with nucleoside analogues and can be fatal.
  • Tell your doctor about new symptoms after starting HIV treatment. This may be immune reconstitution syndrome.
  • Heart attack (myocardial infarction) is listed among the reported adverse reactions, so seek emergency care for heart attack symptoms.

Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine warnings and precautions

▾
  • Abacavir hypersensitivity: can be fatal. Stop the medicine at once if you suspect it. Never restart afterward.
  • Hepatitis B: test before starting. Severe flares can occur after stopping.
  • Liver problems: liver toxicity has been reported with dolutegravir regimens, so monitoring is recommended.
  • Lactic acidosis and enlarged fatty liver: reported with nucleoside analogues, including fatal cases.
  • Immune reconstitution syndrome: reported with combination HIV treatment.
  • Heart attack: listed among reported adverse reactions.

Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine interactions

▾

Tell your pharmacist about all your medicines. Key ones:

  • Dofetilide: contraindicated because levels may rise to dangerous amounts.
  • Metformin and dalfampridine: dolutegravir may raise their levels.
  • Etravirine: lowers dolutegravir and is not recommended without certain boosting partners.
  • Efavirenz: lowers dolutegravir, so extra dolutegravir may be needed.
  • Drugs that affect UGT1A1, CYP3A, or P-gp can change dolutegravir levels.

Interactions listed in the FDA-approved label

From the Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine prescribing information (“Drug Interactions”): what the manufacturer studied or reported to the FDA.

  • Etravirine: Decreases dolutegravir concentrations. Use of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD with etravirine without coadministration of atazanavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or lopinavir/ritonavir is not recommended.
  • Efavirenz: Decreases dolutegravir concentrations. In adults and in pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg, adjust dolutegravir dose to 50 mg twice daily. An additional 50-mg dose of TIVICAY should be taken, separated by 12 hours from TRIUMEQ.
  • Dofetilide, dalfampridine, and metformin (drugs eliminated via OCT2 or MATE1): Dolutegravir may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via OCT2 or MATE1. See Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.3).
  • Tenofovir, methadone, midazolam, rilpivirine, and oral contraceptives containing norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol: Dolutegravir did not have a clinically relevant effect on their pharmacokinetics.
  • Atazanavir, darunavir, efavirenz, etravirine, fosamprenavir, lopinavir, ritonavir, and boceprevir: Based on cross-study comparisons, dolutegravir did not appear to affect their pharmacokinetics.
  • Darunavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, rilpivirine, tenofovir, boceprevir, prednisone, rifabutin, and omeprazole: Had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir.
  • Drugs that induce UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A9, CYP3A, BCRP, or P-gp: May decrease dolutegravir plasma concentrations and reduce its therapeutic effect.
  • Drugs that inhibit UGT1A1, CYP3A, and related enzymes/transporters: May increase dolutegravir plasma concentrations.
Read the label’s full interactions text

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Coadministration of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD with other drugs can alter the concentration of other drugs and other drugs may alter the concentrations of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. The potential drug-drug interactions must be considered prior to and during therapy. ( 4 , 7 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Effect of Dolutegravir on the Pharmacokinetics of Other Agents In vitro, dolutegravir inhibited the renal organic cation transporters (OCT)2 (IC 50 = 1.93 microM) and multidrug and toxin extrusion transporter (MATE)1 (IC 50 = 6.34 microM). In vivo, dolutegravir inhibits tubular secretion of creatinine by inhibiting OCT2 and potentially MATE1. Dolutegravir may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via OCT2 or MATE1 (dofetilide, dalfampridine, and metformin) [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.3 )] . In vitro, dolutegravir inhibited the basolateral renal transporters, organic anion transporter (OAT) 1 (IC 50 = 2.12 microM) and OAT3 (IC 50 = 1.97 microM). However, in vivo, dolutegravir did not alter the plasma concentrations of tenofovir or para-amino hippurate, substrates of OAT1 and OAT3. In vitro, dolutegravir did not inhibit (IC 50 >50 microM) the following: cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A, uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT)1A1, UGT2B7, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), bile salt export pump (BSEP), organic anion transporter polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, or multidrug resistance protein (MRP)2, or MRP4. In vitro, dolutegravir did not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP3A4. Based on these data and the results of drug interaction trials, dolutegravir is not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of drugs that are substrates of these enzymes or transporters.

Before taking Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine

▾
  • Do not use if you carry HLA-B*5701 or have had a prior reaction to abacavir, dolutegravir, or lamivudine.
  • Do not use with moderate or severe liver impairment.
  • Do not use with dofetilide.
  • Get tested for hepatitis B first.
  • Tell your doctor about any past use of abacavir-containing medicines.
  • Only for children aged at least 3 months and weighing at least 6 kg.

Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine overdose

▾

There is no known specific treatment for overdose. You would be monitored and given standard supportive care. Dialysis is unlikely to remove much dolutegravir, and it is not known whether it helps with abacavir or lamivudine.

What Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine does in the body

▾

A dedicated heart-rhythm (QT) study of dolutegravir found it did not prolong the QTc interval. Effects of abacavir, lamivudine, or the combination on QT have not been evaluated. Dolutegravir slightly lowered measured creatinine clearance in healthy volunteers, but did not significantly change actual kidney filtration.

How your body processes Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine

▾

One Triumeq tablet was bioequivalent to dolutegravir plus an abacavir/lamivudine tablet taken separately. Abacavir is absorbed quickly and has a half-life of about 1.5 hours. Dolutegravir peaks 2 to 3 hours after a dose, reaches steady state in about 5 days, and is mostly cleared through the liver and feces, with some in urine. Triumeq PD gives about 1.7-fold higher dolutegravir than Triumeq, so they are not interchangeable.

How to store Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine

▾

Store and dispense in the original package, protect from moisture, and keep the bottle tightly closed. Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F); excursions permitted between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F).

Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine: pharmacist answers to common questions

Quick, plain-English answers to the questions patients ask most about Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine — the kind of thing our pharmacy team would talk through with you at the counter.

What is this medicine for?

▾
It treats HIV-1 infection. Triumeq combines three HIV medicines in one tablet, for adults and for children aged at least 3 months who weigh at least 6 kg.

Why did I need blood tests before starting?

▾
Your doctor checks for the HLA-B*5701 gene because it raises the risk of a serious allergic reaction to abacavir. You are also tested for hepatitis B, since lamivudine can affect it. If you carry the gene, you should not take this medicine.

How do I take it?

▾
Adults take one tablet by mouth once a day, with or without food. Follow your prescriber's directions and the label exactly.

What side effects are common?

▾
The most commonly reported are trouble sleeping, headache, and tiredness. Tell your doctor if they bother you or don't go away.

What symptoms mean I should stop and call right away?

▾
Fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, extreme tiredness or achiness, cough, or shortness of breath could signal an allergic reaction to abacavir. Stop the medicine and get medical help immediately. If this happens, you must never take it or any abacavir-containing medicine again.

Can I stop it suddenly if I have hepatitis B too?

▾
Don't stop on your own. If you have both HIV and hepatitis B, stopping lamivudine can cause a severe hepatitis B flare. Your doctor will monitor your liver closely if you stop.

Is Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine available over the counter?

▾
No. Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine is a prescription medicine: every Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine product listed with the FDA is prescription only, so it is not sold over the counter. Your prescriber decides whether it is appropriate for you, and your pharmacist dispenses it.

When was Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine first available?

▾
The earliest FDA record we hold for Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine is from 2014: its first approval in Drugs@FDA or its earliest product listing in the NDC Directory, whichever is older. Many older medicines were in use before their first formal FDA approval, so this is the earliest date on record, not necessarily when Abacavir, Dolutegravir, and Lamivudine was first used.

How this page is built

HelloPharmacist combines public FDA and NLM records and does not author the underlying clinical facts. The plain-language sections are written with AI from the FDA-approved label text and reviewed by our pharmacy team before publication. ViiV Healthcare Company is the representative DailyMed label linked for verification and dates. This is general education, not medical advice: always talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your own medicines. How we build and review drug pages →
