Overview

The drug is also prescribed often for the treatment of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).
HIV
Abacavir (Abakast-L):- It's an NRTI (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor) that works against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). It is phosphorylated into active metabolites that compete for viral DNA incorporation. Abacavir functions as a chain terminator of DNA synthesis by competitively inhibiting the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme.
Lamivudine (Abakast-L):- It is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) that inhibits viral DNA synthesis in the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Hepatitis B (HBV) viruses. When phosphorylated, it can produce active metabolites that compete with viral DNA for inclusion. Lamivudine metabolites impede the action of the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme by incorporating DNA.
