Nevimune (Generic Viramune)
Generic Name: Nevirapine
Blister Strips of 10 x 200 mg Tablets
Manufactured by Cipla
Description
Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with activity against
HIV-1. Nevirapine binds directly to reverse transcriptase and blocks the RNA-dependent and DNA dependent DNA polymerase activities by causing a disruption of the enzyme's catalytic site. The HIV-2 reverse transcriptase and human DNA polymerases (such as DNA polymerases a, b, g or d ) are not inhibited by nevirapine.
Indications
Nevimune is indicated for use in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Resistant virus emerges rapidly and uniformly when nevirapine is administered as monotherapy. Therefore, nevirapine should always be administered in combination with at least one additional antiretroviral agent.
