WHAT EMTRICITABINE/TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL ZENTIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED
FOR
EMTRICITABINE/TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL ZENTIVA CONTAINS TWO ACTIVE
SUBSTANCES, emtricitabine and
tenofovir disoproxil. Both of these active substances are
antiretroviral medicines which are used to
treat HIV infection. Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor and tenofovir is a
nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. However, both are
generally known as NRTIs and they work
by interfering with the normal working of an enzyme (reverse
transcriptase) that is essential for the
virus to reproduce itself.
