Tenvir AF

Product Overview

Tenvir AF is a medication containing the active ingredient Tenofovir Alafenamide (25mg) in tablet form. It belongs to a class of antiviral drugs known as nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and is primarily used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Tenvir AF works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which is essential for the replication of HIV and HBV. By blocking this enzyme, Tenvir AF helps to suppress viral replication and reduce viral load in the body.

Uses

Tenvir AF is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg. It is also used for the treatment of chronic HBV infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg. Tenvir AF helps to control the progression of HIV and HBV infections, reduce the risk of developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and liver complications, and improve overall health outcomes in affected individuals.

How to Use

Tenvir AF tablets should be taken orally once daily with or without food. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water and should not be chewed, crushed, or broken. It is important to take Tenvir AF regularly and at the same time each day to maintain effective drug levels in the body. Do not miss doses or stop taking the medication without consulting a healthcare provider, as this can lead to treatment failure and the development of drug resistance.

How it Works

Tenvir AF contains Tenofovir Alafenamide, which is a prodrug of tenofovir. Once inside the body, Tenofovir Alafenamide is converted into its active form, tenofovir, which inhibits the activity of the enzyme reverse transcriptase. Reverse transcriptase is essential for the replication of HIV and HBV, as it catalyzes the conversion of viral RNA into DNA. By blocking this enzyme, Tenvir AF prevents the synthesis of viral DNA, thereby inhibiting viral replication and reducing viral load in the body.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Tenvir AF for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg is one tablet taken orally once daily. For the treatment of chronic HBV infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg, the recommended dosage is one tablet taken orally once daily. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on individual patient characteristics and treatment response. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
