About this product

Overview

Tenofomide 25mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Tenofomide, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. This medication is part of a class of antiretroviral drugs that work by inhibiting the enzyme reverse transcriptase, thereby preventing the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the body. By reducing the viral load, Tenofomide helps slow down the progression of HIV infection and improves immune function.

Uses

  1. HIV/AIDS Treatment: Tenofomide 25mg Tablet is prescribed as part of combination therapy for the treatment of HIV infection in adults and pediatric patients.
  2. Prevention of HIV Transmission: In certain cases, Tenofomide may be used as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of HIV transmission in individuals at high risk of infection.

Mechanism of Action

Tenofomide inhibits the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that HIV needs to replicate its genetic material. By blocking reverse transcriptase, Tenofomide prevents the conversion of viral RNA into DNA, thereby halting the replication of HIV. This helps reduce the viral load in the body and allows the immune system to function more effectively in fighting the virus.

Side Effects

While Tenofomide is generally well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects, including:

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Rash
  • Changes in liver enzymes
  • Renal impairment (rare)

Precautions

  • Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking before starting Tenofomide.
  • Regular monitoring of renal function, liver function, and blood cell counts is recommended during treatment with Tenofomide.
  • Use with caution in patients with a history of renal impairment, liver disease, or bone marrow suppression.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication.

When Not to Use

Tenofomide 25mg Tablet should be avoided in the following situations:

  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to Tenofomide or any components of the tablet.
  • Use of certain medications that may interact with Tenofomide, such as certain antiviral drugs or medications that affect renal function.

Frequently asked questions
