DESCRIPTION
Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with
activity against Human
Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). Nevirapine is a white to almost
white powder with
a pKa of 2.8. It is practically insoluble in water, sparingly soluble
or slightly soluble in
methylene chloride, and slightly soluble in methanol.
NEVIRAPINE RBX immediate-release tablets contain 200 mg of nevirapine
and the inactive
ingredients lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium
starch glycollate type A,
colloidal anhydrous silica and magnesium stearate.
PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)
of HIV-1. Nevirapine
binds directly to reverse transcriptase (RT) and blocks the
RNA-dependent and DNA-

dependent DNA polymerase activities by causing a disruption of the
enzyme's catalytic site.
The activity of nevirapine does not compete with template or
nucleoside triphosphates. HIV-
2 RT and eukaryotic DNA polymerases (such as human DNA polymerases

or

) are
not inhibited by nevirapine.
In clinical studies, nevirapine has been associated with an increase
in HDL-cholesterol and an
overall improvement in the total to HDL-cholesterol ratio. However, in
the absence of
specific studies with nevirapine on modifying the cardiovascular risk
in HIV infected
patients, the clinical impact of these findings is not known. The
selection of antiretroviral
drugs must be guided primarily by their antiviral efficacy.
