Emtricitabine-Tenofovir Df

Drug Info for emtricitabine-tenofovir df

The combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir (Descovy, Truvada) is used along with other medications to treat HIV in adults and children who weigh at least 37 pounds (17 kg). Emtricitabine and tenofovir (Truvada) is also used along with practicing safer sex (e.g., condom use) to reduce the risk of HIV infection) in high-risk adults and teenagers who weigh at least 77 pounds (35 kg). Emtricitabine and tenofovir are in a class of medications called nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). They work by slowing the spread of HIV in the body. Although emtricitabine and tenofovir will not cure HIV, these medications may decrease your chance of developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related illnesses such as serious infections or cancer. Taking these medications along with practicing safer sex and making other lifestyle changes may decrease the risk of getting or transmitting the HIV virus to other people.

This medicine is used with other medicines to treat HIV infection. Take all other medicines your doctor has prescribed as part of your combination treatment.

Do not stop using this medicine without checking first with your doctor. If you stop the medicine even briefly, the virus may become harder to treat. Contact your doctor or pharmacist when your supply is running low so you do not run out.

This medicine should come with a Medication Guide. Ask your pharmacist for a copy if you do not have one.
