Mechanism of Action of Efawel
Efavirenz, the active ingredient in Efawel, is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) that blocks the reverse transcriptase enzyme, an essential component for HIV replication. By preventing the virus from converting its RNA into DNA, Efawel reduces viral load and slows the progression of the disease.
