Dinex EC 400mg Tablet

Dinex EC 400mg Tablet is an antiretroviral medicine used to treat HIV infection in children. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retroviral infection that attacks and damages the cells of the immune system. This weakens the ability to fight against infections and diseases. If this condition is left untreated, it can lead to Acquired Immuno Deficiency Virus (AIDS). Symptoms of HIV include fever, chills, night sweats, muscle aches, etc.

Dinex EC 400mg Tablet contains Didanosine, which belongs to the class of protease nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). It works by inhibiting the nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzymes that are necessary for the virus's DNA reproduction. This causes inhibition of viral replication and thereby prevents further spread of infection.
