How Duovir N Tablet works
Duovir N Tablet is a combination of three medicines: lamivudine, zidovudine, and nevirapine that work together to fight HIV by preventing the virus from multiplying in the body. Lamivudine and zidovudine belong to a class of medicines called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). They work by blocking an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which HIV needs to make more copies of itself. This helps slow down the spread of the virus. Nevirapine, on the other hand, is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). It attaches to the same enzyme but differently, making it even harder for HIV to multiply. By working together, these three medicines help protect the immune system and lower the risk of complications.
