What does it do?

Rilpivirine hydrochloride belongs to the class of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. It is primarily used to inhibit the replication of the HIV-1 virus in the treatment of infection. This component aims to reduce the viral load in patients with HIV infection.

Rilpivirine hydrochloride blocks the reverse transcriptase enzyme that the HIV virus needs to replicate its genetic material. This prevents the virus from multiplying within cells, thereby inhibiting the spread of the infection.
