About The Product
HIV
Inbec tablet (Indinavir) is an antiretroviral or antiviral medicine. It is a prescription-based medicine used for the treatment of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. This medicine is not a cure for HIV or AIDS, but it helps reduce the symptoms of the disease by decreasing the virus in the blood. Inbec tablet interferes with an enzyme (protease), which is required by HIV-infected cells to make new viruses.
It stops or slows the virus from multiplying. It is advisable to take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor for better efficacy without increasing or decreasing the dose strength. Inbec tablet is a combination of three antiviral medications: Lamivudine, Abacavir, and Dolutegravir. They work together in preventing the multiplication of viruses in human cells.

How It Works
- Inbec tablet contains Indinavir, which is a protease inhibitor with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). These inhibitors block the part of HIV called protease.
- HIV-1 protease is an enzyme required for the proteolytic cleavage of the viral polyprotein precursors into the individual functional proteins found in infectious HIV-1.
- Indinavir works to bind to the protease active site and inhibits the activity of the enzyme. Further, this inhibition prevents cleavage of the viral polyproteins, resulting in the formation of an immature non-infectious viral particle.
Safety Advice
Missed Doses

- However, if it is already time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take the scheduled dose.
- Also, make sure to not increase the dose strength to catch up with the missed dose.
