Triomune is a drug that prevents the HIV virus from reproducing in the body. It is approved by USFDA for the treatment of HIV/Herpes.
Triomune (Stavudine+Lamivudine+Nevirapine) is an antiviral drug that prevents the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virus from multiplying in the body. This medication is used in the treatment of
HIV/AIDS. Triomune will however, not cure the body of HIV.
Working of the drug:
- Stavudine belongs to a group of drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NTRIs). It works by blocking the functioning of an enzyme called reverse transcriptase.
- Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNTRIs) drug. It works by blocking the enzyme, reverse transcriptase during viral DNA replication.
- Lamivudine inhibits reverse transcriptase of HIV and prevents the proper transcription of the viral DNA.
- All the three drugs thus work by reducing the amount of infectious virus in the body.
