Here we are with the ACE Inhibitors!! Yet another versatile class of drugs and oh how smart those scientists were to discover them. Listen up.

First of these drugs has been around since the 1960s!! We still use them. Some important info especially on the Side Effects.... Listen up!

Whichever set of data you look at globally or within your country cardiovascular diseases leads in the causes of death. Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is a risk factor for these diseases. In this session we will as usual check out how the body works on a normal day then apply the drugs that we use to treat. Stay tuned.......

The description of how these drugs work is like a really good Sci-Fi movie! It's the last class of the antiretroviral drugs we look at. The first novel ARV drug in over a decade is in this class. Listen up!!

In this class, the virus is inside the cell however we stop its replication by inhibiting yet another enzyme.

Just this year this class got a new drug, how encouraging is that! We are still adding on to the ARVs who knows cure could be around the corner.

Amazing work figuring out how to stop the virus from getting into the host cells. Kudos to those drug discoverers. Today we look at a group of drugs that are entry inhibitors. Increase your knowledge on this.....

A unique drug that works outside of the cell. Stops the virus from getting in!

These group of drugs still going strong!! First one approved in 1995. Yet another enzyme being inhibited to get this virus under control (read suppressed). Listen up!

Last episode we looked at the NRTIs now we have the NNRTIs. What's the difference besides the extra N you ask. Listen up and learn how they work they get used quite a bit.

In this episode we discuss the first of the drug classes used to suppress the HIV virus. Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) were the first class of drugs approved way back in 1987. As usual we discuss how they work to suppress the virus, the associated kinetics and side effects to look out for.
