ABACAVIR+LAMIVUDINE is a combination of two drugs, Abacavir and Lamivudine, used to treat HIV infection. Both Abacavir and Lamivudine are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. ABACAVIR+LAMIVUDINE interferes with the working of nucleotide and nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzymes necessary for virus reproduction.
ATAZANAVIR+RITONAVIR belongs to the group of medicines called antiretroviral therapy (ART). ATAZANAVIR+RITONAVIR is a fixed-dose combination (FDC) and contains atazanavir and ritonavir. FDC helps decrease drug resistance (reduction in medication effectiveness) as HIV can easily develop drug resistance.
DIDANOSINE contains Didanosine, which belongs to the class of protease nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). It works by inhibiting the nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzymes that are necessary for the virus's DNA reproduction. This causes inhibition of viral replication and thereby prevents further spread of infection.
EFAVIRENZ is used with other medicines to control and treat HIV infection. This medicine helps to reduce the amount of HIV, which in turn improves the natural defense system(immune system ) of the body. When a person takes EFAVIRENZ, it goes into their bloodstream and interferes with the action of an enzyme ( reverse transcriptase (RT)), that is used by…
ETOPOSIDE belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs containing Etoposide primarily used to treat various cancer types. It is used to treat testicular cancer, small cell lung cancer, cancer of the blood, ovarian cancer, tumor in the lymphatic system. It works by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for cancer cell proliferation and induces cell death (apoptosis). As a result, the growth…
This EXEMESTANE is used to treat specific types of breast cancer in women after menopause. EXEMESTANE is also used to help avoid cancer from returning. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone known as estrogen. EXEMESTANE works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which is involved in producing the estrogen hormone.
RALTEGRAVIR contains 'Raltegravir' which is a human immunodeficiency virus integrase strand transfer inhibitor (HIV-1 INSTI). It works by inhibiting the replication of HIV by blocking DNA integration into new cells. Thus, RALTEGRAVIR is effective in controlling the HIV from multiplying and is used in the treatment of HIV in adults and children weighing at least 2kgs. RALTEGRAVIR may decrease the…
STAVUDINE contains Stavudine, which belongs to the class of protease nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). It works by inhibiting the nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzymes that are necessary for the virus's DNA reproduction. This causes inhibition of viral replication and thereby prevents further spread of infection.
