Description

What is Duovir N® Tablet?

Lamivudine 150mg + Zidovudine 300mg + Nevirapine 200mg – the combination of such drugs is not commercially available in the United States. Duovir N® Tablets are a mixture of three active ingredients called Lamivudine, Nevirapine and Zidovudine. Duovir N tablets are mainly used among HIV-infected patients.

Duovir N® Tablet is a combined medication containing three active ingredients known Lamivudine, Nevirapine, and Zidovudine. Duovir N tablets are used to suppress HIV replication within HIV-infected patients. Other than that Duovir tablets can elevate the amount of CD4 cells. CD4 cells are a type of leucocyte that can protect our body from various infections.

  • Lamivudine is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor and belongs to the synthetic nucleoside analogue. Lamivudine inhibits the action of the reverse transcriptase enzyme, and it leads to the termination of the viral DNA chain.
  • Zidovudine is also a synthetic form of nucleoside analogue. Within the cells, Zidovudine gets phosphorylated and get converted to its active metabolite. The active metabolite of Zidovudine inhibits the action performed by the reverse transcriptase enzyme. Therefore this process helps end the DNA chain formation within the virus replication.
  • Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside but also belongs to reverse transcriptase inhibitors. When Duovir N enters the bloodstream, the Nevirapine within the medication will directly bind with the reverse transcriptase enzyme of the HIV. As a result, the RNA and DNA-dependent polymerase activities get disturbed.
