Thanks for the info. But my problem is how to get the drug across to Nigeria. I wish I could get some one who I can send the money to in an easy way and he'll send the drugs to me

Yes, I think you should switch to Entecavir. The sooner the better. In Japan, the guideline is to switch all Lamivudine users to Entecavir.
