What are the components of the NRTI combination in Epzicom?

  1. Abacavir/Lamivudine

  2. Emtricitabine/TDF

  3. Emtricitabine/TAF

  4. TDF/Lamivudine

The correct answer is: Abacavir/Lamivudine

Epzicom is a fixed-dose combination antiretroviral medication that contains two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) components: abacavir and lamivudine. This combination of abacavir/lamivudine is specifically found in Epzicom. Therefore, option A is correct. The other options provided in the question are incorrect: - Emtricitabine/TDF and Emtricitabine/TAF are combinations used in other antiretroviral medications but not in Epzicom. - TDF/Lamivudine is not a combination used in Epzicom; the correct combination for Epzicom is abacavir/lamivudine.
