What does it do?

Raltegravir potassium is an antiretroviral agent that inhibits the replication of the HIV virus and belongs to the integrase inhibitor class. This ingredient is used in the treatment of patients with HIV infection by interfering with the process of viral gene insertion into host cells.

Raltegravir blocks the integrase enzyme needed for the HIV virus to insert its genes into the DNA of host cells. This prevents the virus from replicating and helps suppress the spread of infection.
