Abacavir(HCL Salt)_STD

Abacavir is an antiretroviral drug used in the management of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. It belongs to the class of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), which act by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme responsible for converting viral RNA into DNA. This prevents the integration of viral DNA into the host genome, thereby reducing viral replication and helping to control the infection.
