Browsing: due to their HIV being resistant to several classes of the drugs. But the drug can work in any patient

     Enter Lenacpravir (Sunlenca). The FDA approved this drug on December 22, 2022 for people with multi-drug resistant virus. I have written about this drug in earlier articles on blackdoctor.org when it was undergoing clinical trials and I spoke about it in the Blackdoctor 2022 World AIDS Day program (https://fb.watch/hgAuRHSK98/).  It is a perfect Christmas present in the battle against HIV disease. Lenacapravir is a very important drug for many reasons. Most importantly, Lenacapravir works differently from all other approved HIV medications. This is important because sometimes, a patient may develop resistance to a particular drug, but this resistance can also affect other related drugs in the same class, so that none of those drug’s work. Lenacapravir works in a unique way, and because it is brand new, it should work in all individuals, even those who have virus that is resistant to other classes of HIV medications.
