It is specifically indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients, helping to manage viral load and support immune system health.

- Used as a component in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART).

Active Ingredient & Action
The active ingredient in this medication is Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate. This compound acts as a Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI). Once ingested, it is converted into its active form inside infected cells. It works by interfering with the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which the virus requires to replicate its genetic material. By inhibiting this process, TENOFOVIR effectively prevents the virus from multiplying and spreading to new cells.
Important Notes
TENOFOVIR must be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Do not skip doses, as consistent adherence is critical for maintaining effective drug levels in the bloodstream. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal issues or renal considerations; therefore, regular medical monitoring of kidney function is essential. Always consult your physician before starting or changing your medication regimen.
