How it works

Tenofovir alafenamide is a ‘prodrug’, meaning that it is converted into the active substance tenofovir in the body. Tenofovir and emtricitabine are antiviral agents called reverse transcriptase inhibitors. They block the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme made by the virus that allows it to reproduce itself in the cells it has infected.
