What are Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors?
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) are a class of antiretroviral drugs used primarily in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. They function by inhibiting the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that is essential for the replication of HIV. By incorporating themselves into the viral DNA, NRTIs prevent the virus from multiplying, thereby reducing the viral load in the patient's body.
