Tenvir EM

Product Description

Tenvir Em Tablet is an antiviral medication containing the active components Emtricitabine and Tenofovir. Produced by Cipla Ltd., this pharmaceutical is formulated to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. The tablets are characteristically blue, oval-shaped, and packaged in strips containing 30 units.

Uses

This medication serves as both a preventive and therapeutic agent for HIV/AIDS. It may also be prescribed for chronic hepatitis B infection when alternative treatments prove ineffective or intolerable. Tenvir Em is commonly incorporated into antiretroviral therapy regimens to suppress viral replication and decelerate disease progression.

How to Use

Administer orally once daily or as prescribed by your physician. Consumption with or without food is acceptable. For optimal therapeutic effect, maintain consistent daily dosing times to sustain stable drug concentrations in your system. Continue treatment as directed, even upon symptom improvement, to prevent viral resistance development.

How it Works

The tablet’s dual active ingredients, Emtricitabine and Tenofovir, function as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). These compounds inhibit the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is essential for viral replication. By disrupting this process, the medication effectively curtails viral proliferation within the body.

Benefits

Tenvir Em Tablet’s primary advantage lies in its capacity to control HIV viral load, thereby preserving immune function, minimizing HIV-related complications, and enhancing patients’ quality of life. When combined with other preventive strategies, it can also reduce HIV transmission risks.

Common Side Effects

Frequently reported adverse effects include gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, diarrhea), headaches, and fatigue. While typically transient, persistent or severe symptoms warrant medical consultation. Potentially serious complications may involve renal impairment, hepatic dysfunction, or metabolic acidosis. Seek immediate medical attention for symptoms like protracted vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, or jaundice.

Dosage and Administration

Standard dosing consists of one tablet daily. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate regimen based on your clinical status, treatment response, and concomitant medications. Never adjust dosage or discontinue treatment without professional guidance.

Warnings

Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to either active ingredient. Pregnancy and lactation require careful risk-benefit assessment. Regular monitoring of renal function, hepatic enzymes, and bone metabolism is recommended during therapy.

Storage

Maintain at controlled room temperature (20-25°C/68-77°F), protected from humidity and light. Store securely away from children and pets. Avoid bathroom storage. Discard expired medication appropriately.
