Description
Duovir-N is a combination of 3 drugs commonly used in the management of
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Both zidovudine and
lamivudine belong to the nucleoside analogue class of antiretroviral
drugs. Both drugs act by terminating the growth of the DNA chain and
inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV. Nevirapine is a
non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. It acts by directly
inhibiting reverse transcriptase. Each tablet of Duovir-N contains half of
the commonly prescribed daily doses of zidovudine, lamivudine and
nevirapine. All three drugs are to be administered twice daily, permitting
a fixed-dose combination to be formulated. With the availability of this
combination formulation, patients may be better able to adhere to triple
drug regimens, thereby enhancing compliance.
