Therapeutic considerations Pregnancy cat. B: (USA) Legal status Routes Oral Nevirapine, also marketed under the trade name Viramune (Boehringer Ingelheim), is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) used to treat

infection and AIDS. As with other antiretroviral drugs, HIV rapidly develops resistance if nevirapine is used alone, so recommended therapy consists of combinations of three or more antiretrovirals. Contents 1 History 2 Mode of action 3 Clinical efficacy 4

inhibit the same target, the
viramunne
transcriptase enzyme, an essential viral
viramunne
which transcribes viral RNA into DNA. Unlike nucleoside RTIs, which bind at the enzyme's active site, NNRTIs bind within a pocket termed the NNRTI pocket. Nevirapine is not effective against HIV-2, as the pocket of the HIV-2 reverse transcriptase has a viramun structure, which confers intrinsic resistance to the NNRTI class. Resistance viraamune viamune develops rapidly if viral replication is not vramune suppressed. The most common mutations observed after nevirapine treatment are Y181C and K103N, which are also observed with other NNRTIs.

Some clinical trials have demonstrated comparable HIV suppression with nevirapine-based regimens to that achieved with protease inhibitors (PIs) or efavirenz. Although concerns have been raised about nevirapine-based regimens in those starting therapy with high

However, in similar patients with a detectable VL, it is prudent to viramane to adhere to current CD4 cell count thresholds. The U. S.
