Lamivudine/nevirapine/stavudine (3TC/NVP/d4T) is a medication used to treat HIV/AIDS.[2] It is a fixed dose combination of lamivudine, nevirapine, and stavudine.[2] It is either used by itself or along with other antiretrovirals.[2] It is taken by mouth twice a day.[2]

The medication is generally well tolerated.[3] Side effects are those of the underlying medications.[2] This may include rash, numbness, pancreatitis, and high blood lactate levels.[3] Use is not recommended in those with significant liver problems.[3] It is unclear if use in pregnancy is safe for the baby and recommendations include starting in the second trimester if possible.[3]

The combination was on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines; however, was removed.[4][5] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about 10 USD per month.[6] As of 2015 it is not commercially available in the United States.[7]
