Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Krka is a fixed-dose combination of efavirenz, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil. It is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection in adults aged 18 years and over with virologic suppression to HIV-1 RNA levels of < 50 copies/ml on their current combination antiretroviral therapy for more than three months. Patients must not have experienced virological failure on any prior antiretroviral therapy and must be known not to have harboured virus strains with mutations conferring significant resistance to any of the three components contained in Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Krka prior to initiation of their first antiretroviral treatment regimen.The demonstration of the benefit of efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil is primarily based on 48-week data from a clinical study in which patients with stable virologic suppression on a combination antiretroviral therapy changed to efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil.No data are currently available from clinical studies with efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil in treatment-naïve or in heavily pretreated patients.No data are available to support the combination of efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil and other antiretroviral agents.

IS USED FOR
EFAVIRENZ/EMTRICITABINE/TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL KRKA CONTAINS THREE
ACTIVE SUBSTANCES that are used
to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection:
-
Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)
-
Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)
-
Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI)
Each of these active substances, also known as antiretroviral
medicines, work by interfering with an
enzyme (reverse transcriptase) that is essential for the virus to
multiply.
EFAVIRENZ/EMTRICITABINE/TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL KRKA IS A TREATMENT FOR
HUMAN
IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV) infection in adults aged 18 years and

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Krka is a fixed-dose
combination of efavirenz,
emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil. It is indicated for the
treatment of human immunodeficiency
virus-1 (HIV-1) infection in adults aged 18 years and over with
virologic suppression to HIV-
1 RNA levels of < 50 copies/ml on their current combination
antiretroviral therapy for more than three
months. Patients must not have experienced virological failure on any
prior antiretroviral therapy and
must be known not to have harboured virus strains with mutations
conferring significant resistance to
any of the three components contained in
Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Krka prior to
initiation of their first antiretroviral treatment regimen (see
sections 4.4 and 5.1).
The demonstration of the benefit of efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir
disoproxil is primarily based on
48-week data from a clinical study in which patients with stable
virologic suppression on a
combination antiretroviral therapy changed to
efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil (see section
5.1). No data are currently available from clinical studies with
efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir
disoproxil in treatment-naïve or in heavily pretreated patients.
No data are available to support the combination of
efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil and
other antiretroviral agents.
