1.
WHAT IS ATRIPLA INTENDED FOR?
Atripla can be used alone as a complete regimen, or in combination
with other antiretroviral medicines to
treat HIV-1 infection in adults.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
Antiviral for systemic use, antivirals for treatment of HIV
infections, combinations.
HIV infection destroys CD4+ T cells, which are important to the immune
system. The immune system helps
fight infection. After a large number of T cells are destroyed,
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
develops.
Atripla helps block HIV-1 reverse transcriptase enzyme, a viral
chemical in your body that is needed for
HIV-1 to multiply. Atripla lowers the amount of HIV-1 in the blood
(viral load). Atripla may also help to
increase the number of T cells (CD4+ cells), allowing your immune
system to improve. Lowering the
amount of HIV-1 in the blood lowers the chance of death or infections
that happen when your immune
system is weak (opportunistic infections).
Atripla does not cure HIV-1 infection or AIDS a

management of HIV infection.
Posology
_ _
_Adults_
The recommended dose of Atripla is one tablet taken orally once daily.
If a patient misses a dose of Atripla within 12 hours of the time it
is usually taken, the patient should
take Atripla as soon as possible and resume the normal dosing
schedule. If a patient misses a dose of
Atripla by more than 12 hours and it is almost time for the next dose,
the patient should not take the
missed dose and simply resume the usual dosing schedule.
If the patient vomits within 1 hour of taking Atripla, another tablet
should be taken. If the patient
vomits more than 1 hour after taking Atripla he/she does not need to
take another dose.
It is recommended that Atripla be taken on an empty stomach since food
may increase efavirenz
exposure and may lead to an increase in the frequency of adverse
reactions (see sections 4.4 and 4.8).
In order to improve the tolerability to efavirenz with respect to
undesirable effects on the nervous
system, bedtime dosing is recommended (see section 4.8).
It is anticipated that tenofovir exposure (AUC) will be approximately
30% lower following
administration of Atripla on an empty stomach as compared to the
individual component tenofovir
disoproxil when taken with food (se
