How Do INSTIs Compare to Other Antiretroviral Drugs?
INSTIs are often preferred over other classes of antiretroviral drugs such as Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) and Protease Inhibitors (PIs) due to their higher barrier to resistance and fewer drug-drug interactions. Unlike NNRTIs and PIs, INSTIs do not typically cause lipid abnormalities or significant gastrointestinal side effects, making them more tolerable for long-term use.
