Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets)

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets)

This drug has a generic name Stavudine, Lamivudine, Nevirapine which contains 30 Mg of Stavudine, 150mg of lamivudine and 200mg of nevirapine. It is considered as antiretroviral type of medication which is a fixed dose combination treatment in prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This medication can help in slow down the ability of HIV to replicate and spread. It allows the number of CD4+ cells to increase and to help the immune system to recover and reduce the risk of disease spread.  

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) Uses :

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) 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 (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets)will however, not cure the body of HIV.

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) work?

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) contain a combination of 3 antiretroviral drugs stavudine, lamivudine and nevirapine, which are effective only against RNA viruses (retroviruses) like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). These three drugs each work by inhibiting the action of the viral-specific enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) which is needed for the virus to be able to replicate. Retroviruses convert RNA to DNA, which is then integrated into the DNA of infected immune cells so that the virus can replicate. Nevirapine in Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) is a dipyridodiazepine derivative non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI); nucleosides are the precursors to the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Nevirapine in Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) acts by binding to a specific site on the RT enzyme, the enzyme's active site known as the NNRTI pocket, disrupting the catalytic site of the enzyme, and blocking its action in a manner that is noncompetitive with nucleosides. Stavudine and lamivudine are both nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), which means that they block the action of RT by competing with one of the nucleosides needed to transcribe the viral RNA into DNA, becoming incorporated into the chain of newly synthesized viral DNA and preventing it from growing (chain termination). Stavudine is an analogue of thymidine and lamivudine is an analogue of cytidine. The combined action of the three antiiretroviral drugs in Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) prevents the integration of the virus into the DNA of the infected CD4+ immune cell by 2 different mechanisms, which inhibits the replication of HIV so that no more virus can be produced and this reduces the viral load (amount of virus). Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) slows down the replication of HIV within your body but does not kill the virus already incorporated in the CD4+ cells or prevent the spread of the infection to others.

Triomune (Lamivudine 30mg, Stavudine 150mg and Nevirapine 200mg Tablets) Dosage Information

All three drugs are generally recommended twice daily, permitting a fixed-dose combination to be formulated.
