WHAT EVIPLERA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
EVIPLERA CONTAINS THREE ACTIVE SUBSTANCES
that are used to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV) infection:
•
Emtricitabine, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI).
•
Rilpivirine, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).
•
Tenofovir disoproxil, a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor
(NtRTI).
Each of these active substances, also known as antiretroviral
medicines, works by interfering with an
enzyme (a protein called ‘reverse transcriptase’) that is
essential for the virus to multiply.
Eviplera reduces the amount of HIV in your body. This, will improve
your immune system and
reduces the risk of developing illnesses linked to HIV infection.
EVIPLERA IS A TREATMENT FOR HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV)
infection in adults aged
18 years and over.
