Both Combivir and Lazivir are medicines that contain two active ingredients: lamivudine and zidovudine. They are used in HIV therapy. Since ARV - antiretroviral treatment is free of charge in Poland as part of a government program (all information is on the aids.gov.pl website), public pharmacies do not have drugs used in HIV infection in stock and we do not have information about their prices. According to my best understanding, Lazivir can cost 500-600 zlotys per package, and Combivir - about 2500 zlotys per package. Zilavir and Combivir drugs are currently not in stock by any pharmacy integrated with GdziePoLek, so unfortunately I will not confirm the above prices, but you can ask about the possibility of ordering and the cost directly in the facilities: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/19411/combivir-tabletki-powlekane/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/42632/lazivir-tabletki-powlekane/apteki From the point of view of the person fulfilling the prescription for antiviral drugs, it does not matter what specialty the doctor issued it. If, on the other hand, you ask whether a psychiatrist will prescribe these drugs to you, this is not the right specialist to treat a person with HIV. Formally, however, he can prescribe drugs such as Lazivir or Combivir - there are no legal restrictions in this case, they are simply drugs with the availability category "Rp", that is, "prescription".
