Abamune 300 mg Tablet | Abacavir Sulphate | HIV Treatment Medicine

Introduction of Abamune 300 mg

Abamune 300 mg Tablet is a prescription antiretroviral medication indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. The active ingredient, Abacavir Sulphate (equivalent to 300 mg of Abacavir), belongs to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works by blocking an enzyme the virus needs to replicate, helping to lower HIV levels in the body and improve immune function.

Abamune is not a cure for HIV or AIDS, but when used in combination with other antiretroviral agents, it can significantly reduce viral load, enhance quality of life, and delay the progression of HIV-related complications. It is a core component of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) regimens.
