ACTIONS
Anterovir® -NV Caplet is a combination of three 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 that 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 Anterovir® -NV Caplet contains half of the commonly prescribed daily doses of Lamivudine, Zidovudine and Nevirapine.
All the three drugs are to be administered twice daily, permitting a fixed-dose combination to be formulated. With the ability of this combination formulation, patients may be better able to comply with the dosage regimen thereby enhancing compliance.
