Nevimune – Nevirapine 200mg Tablets

ABOUT NEVIMUNE

Nevimune belongs to a class of anti-HIV medicines called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that HIV needs in order to multiply. It stops reverse transcriptase from working, and thus helps control HIV-1 infection.
