How it works
Nevilast 40mg tablet is a combination of three anti-retroviral medicines. Lamivudine and stavudine tablet works by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV, restricting the replication of the viral genome, and reducing the production of new infectious viral particles. It mainly interferes with reverse transcription and inhibits the spread of HIV. Nevirapine binds directly to reverse transcriptase (RT) and blocks RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase activities by causing disruption of the enzyme

Expert Tips
Follow your doctorâs instructions with respect to high-risk activities such as unprotected sex and personal items that can have blood or body fluids on them, like toothbrushes, razor blades, and needles. Always practice safe sex by using condom to lower the chance of sexual contact with semen, vaginal secretions, or blood.
