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