Dolutegravir – HIV Treatment

Dolutegravir

Dolutegravir is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of HIV infection (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in adults and children. It belongs to the class of integrase inhibitors, blocking the integrase enzyme necessary for HIV replication within the body’s cells. This helps reduce the viral load in the blood and improves the patient's immune system status. Dolutegravir is often used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), is well tolerated, and is highly effective in controlling HIV infection.
