Nevirapine

Nevirapine is an antiretroviral medication used for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. It is specifically classified as a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), which means it works by blocking the enzyme reverse transcriptase, thus preventing the virus from replicating and spreading within the body. Nevirapine is often used as part of a combination therapy regimen, along with other antiretroviral drugs, to effectively manage HIV and improve the overall health and quality of life for those living with the infection.
