Description
Tenvir EM is an antiviral medication used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. It contains a combination of two active ingredients, Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, which work together to slow down the replication of the virus and reduce its levels in the body.
Uses:
Tenvir EM is used to treat HIV infection in adults and adolescents who weigh at least 35 kg. It is used in combination with other antiretroviral medicines as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
HOW TO USE:
Tenvir EM should be taken orally once a day, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed, chewed, or broken. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor, as the dose may need to be adjusted over time.
