Antivirals for systemic use

• Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for the prevention and treatment of HIV infection.
• It works by inhibiting reverse transcriptase, the enzyme that copies HIV RNA into new viral DNA. By interfering with this process, which is essential for HIV replication, emtricitabine can help reduce the amount of HIV, or viral load.
