Tenvir L

Product Description

Tenvir L Tablet is a medication containing the active ingredients Lamivudine and Tenofovir. Manufactured by Cipla Ltd., it is a prescription medicine primarily used to treat HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. The medication comes in the form of tablets for oral administration.

Uses

Tenvir L Tablet is primarily used to manage HIV infection and chronic hepatitis B. It is an antiretroviral medication that can help prevent the virus from multiplying within your body. This medication is often used in combination with other HIV medications in what is known as antiretroviral therapy (ART).

How to Use

This medication should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken once daily with or without food. However, it is recommended that you take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level in your body. Do not change your dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

How it Works

Tenvir L Tablet works by inhibiting the action of the enzymes that the HIV and hepatitis B virus require to replicate themselves. Lamivudine and Tenofovir are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). They work by blocking the action of a viral enzyme called reverse transcriptase. By inhibiting this enzyme, these drugs prevent the virus from multiplying, reducing the amount of the virus in the body while also preventing the disease from progressing.

Benefits

The main benefits of Tenvir L Tablet include slowing down the progression of HIV infection and decreasing the risk of getting HIV-related complications such as new infections or cancer. For patients with HBV, this medication reduces the amount of the virus in the body, which may help to slow down the progression of this disease. This medication can help improve your quality of life and increase your lifespan.
