WHAT TRUVADA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
TRUVADA 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.
•

INFECTION IN ADULTS

YEARS WHO WEIGH AT LEAST
35 KG,
and who have already been treated with other HIV medicines that are no
longer effective

−
Truvada should always be used combined with other medicines to treat
HIV infection.
−
Truvada can be administered in place of emtricitabine and tenofovir
disoproxil used
