Lamivudine NEW

Lamivudine is a cytidine analog which acts as a potent reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nRTI). It is effective against both HIV reverse transcriptase 1 and 2, as well as hepatitis B reverse transcriptase. Lamivudine must be phosphorylated to its triphosphate form before it is active.
Lamivudine is an antiretroviral agent, which belongs to a class of drugs called "nucleosides reverse transcripts inhibitors" or "NRTIs". Lamivudine mimics a nucleoside base, which blocks further construction of the virus. When combined with other antiretroviral drugs, Lamivudine can achieve a significant decrease in viral multiplication.
