What does it do?

Etravirine is an antiviral active ingredient that inhibits the reverse transcriptase of the HIV virus. It belongs to the class of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and is used in the treatment of HIV infection. This ingredient aims to prevent viral replication, thereby reducing damage to the immune system.

Etravirine interferes with the action of reverse transcriptase, the enzyme that converts the virus's RNA into DNA. As a result, it blocks the process of viral replication within the cells, helping to suppress the spread of the infection.
