1 abcd VIRAMUNE ® XR EXTENDED-RELEASE TABLET COMPOSITION 1 extended-release tablet contains: 400mg or 100 mg 11-cyclopropyl-5,11-dihydro-4-methyl-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2',3'-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one (= nevirapine anhydrous) Excipients: lactose monohydrate, hypromellose, iron oxide (E172), magnesium stearate DESCRIPTION Extended-release tablet: yellow, oval biconvex tablet (400mg); yellow, round biconvex tablet (100mg). PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) of HIV-1. Nevirapine binds directly to reverse transcriptase and blocks the RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities by causing disruption of the enzyme's catalytic site. The activity of nevirapine does not compete with template or nucleoside triphosphates. HIV-2 reverse transcriptase and eukaryotic DNA polymerases (such as human DNA polymerases α, β, γ, or δ) are not inhibited by nevirapine. In clinical studies, VIRAMUNE has been associated with an increase in HDL- cholesterol and an overall improvement in the total to HDL-cholesterol ratio, which in the general population would be considered to be associated with a lower cardiovascular risk. However, in the absence of specific studies with VIRAMUNE 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.
