What Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan is and what it is used
for
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan 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.

Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan is used to treat Human
Immunodeficiency Virus 1
(HIV-1) infection in adults.

It is also used to treat HIV in adolescents aged 12 to less than 18
years who weigh at least 35 kg,
and who have already been treated with other HIV medicines that are no
longer effective or have
caused side effects.
