What are Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs)?
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) are a class of antiretroviral drugs used primarily in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. These medications work by inhibiting the action of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme critical for the replication of HIV. By blocking this enzyme, NRTIs prevent the virus from multiplying and spreading, thereby helping to manage the infection and improve the patientâs quality of life.
