उपयोग
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets IP 300 mg is an antiviral medicine prescribed for specific viral infections, including HIV-1 infection as part of combination antiretroviral therapy and chronic hepatitis B in appropriate patients. It belongs to the nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor class and works by interfering with viral enzymes required for replication. This helps reduce viral activity and supports disease management when the medicine is used according to an appropriate treatment plan. For HIV-1 infection, tenofovir is used with other prescribed antiretroviral medicines. It must not be used alone to treat HIV because an incomplete treatment regimen can lead to treatment failure and drug resistance. For chronic hepatitis B, treatment decisions depend on the patient's liver condition, viral activity, and clinical assessment. The medicine can control hepatitis B, but stopping treatment may cause a serious flare-up of the infection. Regular medical follow-up is important during treatment. Tenofovir can affect kidney function and, in some cases, bone health. Your healthcare professional may recommend kidney function tests and other investigations based on your condition. Inform your doctor about existing kidney or liver disease, pregnancy, and all other medicines you take.
