INTRODUCTION Dolutegravir Sodium, Lamivudine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate is a generic medicine of Tivicay film-coated tablets, Viread 245 mg film-coated tablets and Epivir 300 mg film- coated tablets. Dolutegravir Sodium, Lamivudine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate is an Antiviral medicine belonging to J05AF07 (nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors), J05AF0 (nucleoside analogue) and J05AJ03 (other antivirals) group. Dolutegravir inhibits HIV integrase by binding to the integrase active site and blocking the strand transfer step of retroviral Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) integration which is essential for the HIV replication cycle. Lamivudine is a nucleoside analogue which has activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is metabolised intracellularly to the active moiety, lamivudine 5'-triphosphate. Its main mode of action is as a chain terminator of viral reverse transcription. The triphosphate has selective inhibitory activity against HIV-1 and HIV-2 replication in vitro, it is also active against zidovudine-resistant clinical isolates of HIV. No antagonistic effects in vitro were seen with lamivudine and other anti retrovirals (tested agents: abacavir, didanosine, nevirapine and zidovudine Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is the fumarate salt of the prodrug tenofovir disoproxil. Tenofovir disoproxil is absorbed and converted to th Read the complete document
