Ritomune 100 mg Tablet contains Ritonavir, a protease inhibitor used in HIV-1 antiretroviral regimens to boost plasma levels of co-administered protease inhibitors.

Mechanism of Action

Ritonavir inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme, increasing the bioavailability and effectiveness of other protease inhibitors in ART. It also directly inhibits HIV-1 protease to prevent viral maturation. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Viraday Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (300 mg), Emtricitabine (200 mg), and Efavirenz (600 mg) manufactured by Cipla. It’s used once daily in HIV-1 antiretroviral therapy for viral suppression and immune recovery.

Mechanism of Action

Tenofovir (ntRTI) and Emtricitabine (NRTI) block reverse transcriptase, while Efavirenz (NNRTI) binds non-competitively to the enzyme, inhibiting HIV replication at multiple sites. ([turn0search14])
