Albavir Tablets – Introduction
Albavir Tablets are a combination medication containing abacavir and lamivudine used to treat HIV/AIDS. By using these two antiviral drugs together, Albavir reduces the amount of HIV in the body, making the infection easier to control and improving overall health. This medicine is very important for people who are being treated for HIV.

How Albavir Tablets Works: A Closer Look

Albavir Tablets combine abacavir and lamivudine, two key antiviral agents. Here’s how they work together to fight HIV:

  • Abacavir and lamivudine are both Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs). They target and inhibit the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which HIV uses to replicate.
  • By blocking this enzyme, Albavir Tablets prevent HIV from multiplying and spreading in the body.
  • This combination helps reduce the viral load, making the virus less active and improving the immune system’s ability to combat infections.

Use

  • Treating HIV infection

Albavir Tablets- The Benefits

  • Decrease in HIV Levels: Albavir Tablets work by stopping a key process that HIV uses to make more copies of itself, which helps to reduce the amount of HIV in the blood greatly. This makes it harder for the virus to spread.
  • Strengthening the Immune System: Reducing the amount of HIV in the body allows the immune system to get stronger and work better. This lowers the chance of getting infections that can happen when the immune system is weak and improves overall health.
