Mechanism of action

Lopinavir and ritonavir are protease inhibitors that block HIV protease, preventing the maturation of infectious viral particles. Lamivudine and zidovudine are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors that block the enzyme responsible for converting HIV RNA into DNA, preventing viral integration into host cells. Together, this triple-drug regimen targets multiple steps of the HIV replication cycle.
