About Truvada
Truvada is a prescription medicine that can only be obtained with a prescription.
What it is used for
Truvada is used for treating or preventing HIV-1 infection.
How it is used
Truvada is available as tablets and should be started by a doctor who has experience in the management of HIV infection. The recommended dose for treating or preventing HIV-1 infection is one tablet once a day, preferably taken with food.
How it works
Truvada contains two active substances: emtricitabine, which is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; and tenofovir disoproxil, which is a ‘prodrug’ of tenofovir. This means that it is converted into tenofovir in the body. Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Both emtricitabine and tenofovir work in similar ways by blocking the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme produced by HIV that allows it to infect cells and make more viruses.
