Truvada Overview
Truvada is used with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life.emtricitabine and tenofovir. Emtricitabine is called a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, while tenofovir is called a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. They are often called NRTIs. Truvada should not be used by itself to help control HIV infection. Doing so can make your treatment less effective. Combination treatment with at least one other HIV medication should be used. Truvada is also used to help prevent HIV infection in people who have a high risk for infection. Some things that increase risk include having a partner infected with HIV, having unprotected sex, having multiple sex partners, infection with a sexually transmitted disease-STD, or use/abuse of drugs or alcohol. Emtricitabine/tenofovir is not a cure for HIV infection. To decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, continue to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during sexual activity as directed by your doctor. Do not share personal items (such as needles/syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Truvada Warnings
If you have hepatitis B infection as well as HIV, your hepatitis symptoms may get worse or become very serious if you stop taking Truvada. Talk with your doctor before stopping Truvada. Your doctor will perform liver function tests for several months after you stop. If you are taking Truvada to prevent HIV infection, you must first get tested to be sure you are HIV-negative. Your doctor will perform laboratory tests before starting Truvada and periodically during treatment (every 3 months) to make sure that you do not have HIV infection. Using Truvada will not always prevent HIV infection. To get the most benefit from it, take Truvada exactly as directed, and follow all prevention actions. (See also Uses section.) Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of HIV infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, tiredness, fever, night sweats, diarrhea, joint/muscle aches, enlarged lymph nodes).
How to Use Truvada
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking Truvada and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take Truvada by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily with or without food. The Dosage of Truvada is based on your kidney function, medical condition, and response to treatment. For children, the Dosage of Truvada is also based on weight. When used to treat HIV infection, Truvada is taken with other medicines that treat HIV. If you are also taking didanosine enteric-coated tablets, take both products either on an empty stomach or with a light meal. If you are taking the didanosine buffered tablets, take both drug products on an empty stomach. It is very important to keep taking Truvada (and other HIV medications) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses. For the best effect, take Truvada at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take Truvada at the same time every day. Do not take more or less of Truvada than prescribed or stop taking it (or other HIV medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Doing so may cause the amount of virus to increase, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or worsen side effects.
