Capsid inhibitors treat HIV. These medications work by interfering with the protein shell (capsid) of the virus, which is necessary for HIV to spread in your body. An example of a capsid inhibitor is Sunlenca (lenacapavir), which comes as both an injection and tablet.
LENACAPAVIR helps manage the symptoms of HIV infection. It works by limiting the spread of HIV in the body. This medication is not a cure for HIV or AIDS and it may still be possible to spread HIV to others while taking it. It does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Yeztugo is part of the Capsid Inhibitors class and treats HIV Prevention. Capsid inhibitors are used to treat HIV. They work by blocking the virus's protein shell which prevents it from replicating. Yeztugo is only available as a brand name drug.
