Product Information

• Name: Abacavir sulfate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Abacavir sulfate is a pharmaceutical compound classified as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), which is derived from synthetic sources. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme, essential for the replication of HIV. By incorporating itself into the viral DNA chain during replication, Abacavir effectively halts the process, preventing further multiplication of the virus within the host cells.This antiretroviral medication is primarily used in the management and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infections. Abacavir sulfate is a critical component in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), contributing to the reduction of viral load, enhancing immune function, and improving the long-term clinical outcomes in patients living with HIV. Its application in combination therapies has been instrumental in transforming HIV from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition.
