What is Viropil Tablet?
Viropil Tablet is a combination of Dolutegravir, Lamivudine, and Tenofovir which belongs to the group of medicines called Antiretroviral drugs. It is used to manage HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks cells that help the body fight infection, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases. As the virus destroys and impairs the function of immune cells, infected individuals gradually become immunodeficient, and reach the most advanced stage of HIV infection called Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
It may present with the symptoms of any other infection like fever, throat pain, extreme tiredness, weight loss, and muscle pain.
How Viropil Tablet Works
Viropil Tablet helps to control HIV infection where Dolutegravir inhibits an enzyme (HIV integrase) by binding to the active site and interrupts the HIV replication cycle, resulting in the inhibition of viral activity, and Tenofovir and Lamivudine inhibit HIV replication through incorporation into viral DNA by the enzyme HIV reverse transcriptase, resulting in obstruction of viral DNA synthesis.
