What is emtricitabine tenofovir DF used for?
Emtricitabine tenofovir DF is used for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection. It is commonly prescribed as part of antiretroviral therapy to help control HIV infection and is also used as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV in individuals at high risk.
Is emtricitabine-tenofovir the same as PrEP?
Emtricitabine-tenofovir is a combination of two antiretroviral medications that is commonly used as PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) to help prevent HIV infection in individuals at high risk. While emtricitabine-tenofovir is a component of PrEP, PrEP refers to the overall strategy of using these medications to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
What is the generic name for PrEP?
The generic name for PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.
Can tenofovir cause loss of appetite?
Yes, tenofovir can cause loss of appetite as a side effect. If this symptom persists or becomes bothersome, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider.
What is the new replacement for Truvada?
The newer replacement for Truvada is Descovy. Both medications are used for HIV prevention (PrEP) and treatment, but Descovy is formulated with a different version of tenofovir, which may have a more favorable safety profile regarding bone and kidney health. However, Descovy is not approved for use in individuals at risk of HIV from receptive vaginal sex.
