What are Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs)?
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) are a class of antiretroviral drugs used primarily to treat HIV infections. They work by inhibiting the action of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme crucial for the replication of HIV. By blocking this enzyme, NRTIs help prevent the virus from multiplying, thereby reducing the viral load in the body.
