Scientists develop two-drug combo pill to treat HIV
Scientists have developed a new delivery system for a combination of two HIV drugs that may serve as an effective treatment for the deadly virus.
For patients who have developed resistance to currently available HIV treatments, the decitabine-gemcitabine drug combination could prove an effective alternative and secondary line of defence.
In addition to a potentially effective treatment for humans with HIV, the combination also shows potential to treat cats with leukaemia, researchers said.
The discovery, which allows for a combination of decitabine and gemcitabine to be delivered in pill form, marks a major step forward in patient feasibility for the drugs, which previously had been available solely via injection or intravenous therapy (IV)
If you have a condition that requires you to take a medication everyday, as many patients with HIV do, you wouldn't want to have to take that medication via daily injection," said Steven Patterson, professor at the Center for Drug Design at the University of Minnesota.
