Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Epivir from Canada?

90-day cost = 180 tablets at the usual dose of 2 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Epivir coupons and savings programs

How do you pay?

We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.

eDrugSearch does not offer its own Epivir coupons. eDrugSearch has no coupons of its own. These programs can help with the cost of Epivir:

  • AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP): run by each state and territory under the federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. It helps low-income people with HIV who have limited or no health insurance get FDA-approved HIV medicines, and can help pay for health insurance. (HRSA: ADAP)
  • Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
  • Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)

Is there a generic Epivir?

Yes. The FDA has approved generic lamivudine 150 mg and 300 mg tablets from several makers, rated equivalent to Epivir. Apotex's was approved on December 2, 2011.

What is Epivir used for?

Epivir (lamivudine) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:

  • Together with other HIV medicines to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and in children 3 months and older.

Epivir comes as 150 mg scored tablets and 300 mg tablets; the label's usual adult dose is 300 mg a day. Boxed warning: hepatitis B can get much worse in people who have both HIV-1 and hepatitis B and stop taking Epivir, so their liver is checked for several months after stopping. Epivir tablets contain more lamivudine than Epivir-HBV, the hepatitis B product, and the label says people with HIV-1 should use only the HIV-1 dose forms. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.

Is it safe to order Epivir from Canada?

Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Epivir, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic lamivudine before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, ViiV Healthcare sells lamivudine under the name 3TC rather than Epivir, and the 100 mg hepatitis B tablet (Heptovir) was cancelled in 2022 (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12). Brand Epivir abroad comes mainly from the U.K. and Turkey.
