Dolutegravir

Dolutegravir is a medication used to treat HIV infection. It works by blocking an enzyme called integrase, which the virus needs to insert its genetic material into human cells. By stopping this process, dolutegravir prevents the virus from multiplying and helps control the infection. It is often part of combination therapy with other antiretroviral drugs and is valued for its effectiveness, tolerability, and once-daily dosing. Proper use of dolutegravir can help people with HIV maintain a low viral load, reducing the risk of transmission and improving overall health.
