What does it do?

Cabotegravir sodium belongs to the class of integrase inhibitors. This component is used to inhibit viral replication by blocking the process through which the HIV virus inserts its genetic material into host cells.

Cabotegravir sodium disrupts the stage at which the HIV virus integrates its genes into the DNA of the host cell. This prevents the virus from replicating, thereby slowing or preventing the progression of the infection.
