Description:
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection and chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It belongs to the class of nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and is commonly used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). Tenofovir works by blocking the reverse transcriptase enzyme, thereby inhibiting viral replication and reducing the amount of virus in the body.
Therapeutic Uses:
Treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents, in combination with other antiretroviral agents
Treatment of chronic HBV infection in adults and pediatric patients
Mechanism of Action:
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate is converted in the body to tenofovir diphosphate, which inhibits the activity of viral reverse transcriptase and HBV polymerase enzymes. This action prevents the virus from multiplying and helps to control the infection.
Dosage Form:
Tablet
Prescription Status:
Prescription-only medication
Note:
This medication is not a cure for HIV or hepatitis B but helps in managing the infections and improving immune function. It should be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider, with regular monitoring of kidney function and viral load during treatment.
