Merck's new Isentress drug has been approved to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) strains that have been found to be resistant to many antiretroviral drugs, according to the pharmaceutical manufacturer.
Newer drugs that treat AIDS have become exciting in the last 24 months as more advanced have been made in fighting the virus responsible for the disease. Isentress, for example, works by interfering with an enzyme needed by the HIV-1 virus to multiply.
This specific drug is meant to be used with former, more conventional HIV treatments where viral replication has been seen despite the use of antiretroviral drugs.
