What is Truvada and how does it work?
Truvada is a prescription antiretroviral medication containing a fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. It is used in the treatment of HIV infection in adults and children aged 12 and older. The medication works by blocking enzymes essential for HIV replication, thereby slowing or stopping the production of new virus cells. It is important to understand that Truvada is not a cure for HIV or AIDS, nor does it prevent the transmission of HIV. Preventing infection requires separate, consistent safe sex practices.
What dosage strengths are available for Truvada?
The appropriate dosage of Truvada is determined by a healthcare provider based on factors like the patient's age, body weight, and kidney function. The medication is available in several fixed-dose combination tablets, including: 100 mg emtricitabine/150 mg tenofovir, 133 mg emtricitabine/200 mg tenofovir, 167 mg emtricitabine/250 mg tenofovir, and 200 mg emtricitabine/300 mg tenofovir. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for specific dosing information.
