About FORSTAVIR L TABLET
FORSTAVIR L TABLET belongs to a class of drugs called antiretrovirals used to treat HIV infection. FORSTAVIR L TABLET helps in decreasing the chance of developing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system and destroys the white blood cells that help in fighting infection, making the individual susceptible to other infections or illnesses.
FORSTAVIR L TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Lamivudine and Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Lamivudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, whereas Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. FORSTAVIR L TABLET works by interfering with the working of nucleotide and nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzymes necessary for the reproduction of the virus. Together, FORSTAVIR L TABLET helps in treating HIV infection.
