A Study Comparing Safety Of Abacavir And Lamivudine Administered Once-Daily As A Single Tablet Versus The Same Drugs Administered Twice-Daily As Separate Tablets (ALOHA Study)

This study was designed to evaluate if subjects who took 600 mg of abacavir and 300 mg of lamivudine once-daily as a single tablet were just as likely to have adverse events compared to subjects who took 300 mg of abacavir and 150 mg of lamivudine administered as separate tablets twice-daily.
