Lamivudine is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection. It works by inhibiting the hepatitis B virus's reverse transcriptase enzyme, reducing the virus's ability to replicate and thereby decreasing viral load. This helps in managing the infection and slowing the progression of liver damage, although it is not a cure for hepatitis B.
