Adenovirus (Ad) vectors, adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, retrovirus vectors, and herpesvirus vectors are the few viral vectors that have advanced to clinical trials aimed at developing gene therapy products for their safety and biological function.

Effectiveness. Both Mavyret and Harvoni are approved to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, one medication may be more effective for you than the other, depending on the type of HCV you have and whether you have any liver scarring (cirrhosis). These drugs haven't been directly compared in clinical studies.

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that block the action of angiotensin II by preventing angiotensin II from binding to angiotensin II receptors on the muscles surrounding blood vessels. As a result, blood vessels enlarge (dilate) and blood pressure is reduced.

Reverse transcriptase inhibitors were the first generation of ARV drugs licensed for the treatment of HIV infection. Nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) block the HIV replication cycle by inhibiting viral reverse transcriptase, an essential enzyme for the generation of HIV DNA.

A study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has confirmed that treating HIV-positive people with antiretroviral (ARV) drugs reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to HIV-negative sexual partners by 96 percent—at least among heterosexual couples—according to an announcement by the NIH.

The healthcare regulator has chosen to recommend angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) licensed for heart failure – a class of drugs which includes Amias – as an alternative first-line therapy in patients who are unable to tolerate an ACE inhibitor.

Losartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to help protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes.

The drugs used to treat HIV are called antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). There are several different types and they work in different ways. HIV treatment is made up of three or more antiretroviral drugs normally combined into one pill. There are lots of antiretroviral drugs, and they can be combined in different ways.

Drugs used for PEP PEP normally consists of three anti-HIV drugs, from two of the different classes. The most recent UK guidelines recommend using Truvada (a fixed-dose combination tablet combining emtricitabine and tenofovir) from the NRTI class, and raltegravir (Isentress) from the integrase inhibitor class.

Now results from three landmark studies of almost 4,000 diabetic patients suggest that a specific class of blood pressure drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers, or ARBs, can protect kidneys and reduce the need for kidney dialysis or transplant.

ARVC is a disorder of the myocardium, which is the muscular wall of the heart. This condition causes part of the myocardium to break down over time, increasing the risk of an abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia) and sudden death. ARVC may not cause any symptoms in its early stages.

ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBS) are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure, and all have diarrhea as a reported side effect. The ARB olmesartan (Benicar, Azor) is the biggest offender in this class of drugs and diarrhea can be severe and long lasting while you're taking it.

Antivirals are a class of drugs which are used to treat viral infections. The antiviral drugs target diverse group of viruses such as herpes, hepatitis, and influenza viruses. Whereas antiretroviral are the drugs that are used to fight retrovirus infections which mainly include HIV.

Valtrex (valacyclovir) and Famvir (famciclovir) are antiviral drugs used to treat infections with shingles (herpes zoster), genital herpes (herpes simplex genitalis), and cold sores (herpes labialis).

Famvir (famciclovir) is an antiviral drug active against the Herpes viruses, including herpes simplex 1 and 2 (cold sores and genital herpes) and varicella-zoster (shingles and chickenpox). It is a nucleoside analog that mimics one of the building blocks of DNA.
