THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
HIV-1 infection
Tenofovir disoproxil 245 mg film-coated tablets are indicated in
combination with other
antiretroviral medicinal products for the treatment of HIV-1 infected
adults.
In adults, the demonstration of the benefit of tenofovir disoproxil in
HIV-1 infection is based on
results of one study in treatment-naïve patients, including patients
with a high viral load
(> 100,000 copies/ml) and studies in which tenofovir disoproxil was
added to stable background
therapy (mainly tritherapy) in antiretroviral pre-treated patients
experiencing early virological
failure (< 10,000 copies/ml, with the majority of patients having <
5,000 copies/ml).
Tenofovir disoproxil 245 mg film-coated tablets are also indicated for
the treatment of HIV-1
infected adolescents, with NRTI resistance or toxicities precluding
the use of first line agents, aged
12 to < 18 years.
The choice of tenofovir disoproxil to treat antiretroviral-experienced
patients with HIV-1 infection
should be based on individual viral resistance testing and/or
treatment history of patients.
Hepatitis B infection
Tenofovir disoproxil 245 mg film-coated tablets are indicated for the
treatment of chronic hepatitis B
in adults with:
•
compensated liver disease, with evidence of active viral replication,
