Introduction of EMLETRA TAB
Hivus-LR Tablet is a combination of two antiretroviral drugs, namely: Lopinavir and Ritonavir. Lopinavir works by inhibiting the working of a protease enzyme that is essential for the reproduction of HIV. Thereby, it prevents the production of the new virus. Ritonavir slows the breakdown of Lopinavir by the liver and increases the levels of Lopinavir in the blood and making it effective against the virus. Together, they help to control HIV infection.
