Mechanism of action

Tenofovir and emtricitabine are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) that block the enzyme responsible for converting HIV RNA into DNA. Lopinavir/ritonavir is a protease inhibitor that prevents the maturation of HIV virions by inhibiting the viral protease enzyme. Together, they suppress HIV replication through complementary mechanisms.
