Isentress is a prescription medicine that contains raltegravir, an HIV integrase inhibitor. It works by blocking the HIV enzyme called integrase, which the virus needs to integrate its genetic material into human cells. Without integration, HIV cannot reproduce properly, and its amount in the blood decreases. As viral load drops, the immune system becomes stronger and better able to fight infections and other diseases.<\/p>\n

Isentress is used in adults, adolescents, and children living with HIV infection. It is not a cure for HIV or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), but it plays a key role in controlling the virus and preventing its progression. The treatment helps patients achieve an undetectable viral load, which also reduces the risk of transmitting HIV during anal or vaginal sex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Isentress is an antiretroviral medicine used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus.<\/p>\n

It contains raltegravir, an integrase strand transfer inhibitor that helps block the HIV virus from replicating in the body when used in combination with other HIV medications. HIV attacks and destroys white blood cells, which are crucial for the body’s immune system to fight infections. By damaging the body’s immune system, HIV increases the risk of opportunistic infections and diseases, making medical treatment essential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[197],"product_tag":[288],"class_list":{"0":"post-48004","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-brand","6":"product_tag-hiv-infection","7":"product_group-antiviral","8":"dosage-400-mg","9":"dosage-600-mg","10":"package_size-60-tablets","11":"country_of_origin-canada","12":"active_ingredients-raltegravir","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/48004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=48004"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=48004"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinepharmacy.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=48004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
