Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are a class of antiviral drugs used to manage HIV infection, which work by inhibiting HIV's reverse transcriptase enzyme. This enzyme prevents the multiplication of the virus and slows down the progression of the disease. Medications in this class include zidovudine, stavudine, lamivudine, didanosine, and tenofovir. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, insomnia, and headache.
