Viropil is a combination HIV medicine that comes as a single tablet.
It contains three drugs:
-
Dolutegravir (DTG) – an integrase inhibitor
-
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) – a reverse transcriptase inhibitor
-
Lamivudine (3TC) – a reverse transcriptase inhibitor
This “single-pill regimen” makes HIV treatment easier and more effective.
Mechanism
-
Tenofovir & Lamivudine: Block the HIV enzyme reverse transcriptase, preventing the virus from copying itself.
-
Dolutegravir: Blocks the HIV enzyme integrase, stopping the virus from inserting its genetic material into human cells.
