Vemlidy contains the active ingredient tenofovir alafenamide. It is a prescription antiviral medication used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Chronic Hepatitis B

Vemlidy is used to treat chronic hepatitis B in adults and certain children.

Chronic hepatitis B is a long-term viral infection that affects the liver. Over time, untreated HBV can cause liver inflammation and may lead to serious liver problems.

Vemlidy helps lower the amount of hepatitis B virus in the body and can reduce ongoing liver damage.

How Vemlidy Works

Vemlidy belongs to a group of antiviral medications called nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).

It blocks an enzyme that hepatitis B needs to make copies of its genetic material.

By slowing the virus from multiplying, Vemlidy helps reduce the amount of HBV in the blood and may improve liver health.

Important Note

Vemlidy helps control hepatitis B, but it does not cure the infection.

Continue taking Vemlidy exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well. Stopping hepatitis B treatment suddenly can cause the infection to become more active and may lead to serious liver problems.

Your healthcare provider will usually monitor your liver function and hepatitis B levels during treatment.

Vemlidy is taken by mouth once daily with food.

Taking it with food helps your body absorb the medication properly.

Recommended Dose

The usual dose for adults and eligible pediatric patients is 25 mg once daily with food.

Current prescribing information includes pediatric patients 6 years of age and older who weigh at least 25 kg.

Swallow the Tablet as Directed

Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Try to take Vemlidy at about the same time every day to help you remember your dose and maintain consistent treatment.

Kidney Problems and Dialysis

No dose adjustment is usually needed if your estimated kidney function is 15 mL/min or higher.

Vemlidy may also be used in people with end-stage renal disease who are receiving chronic hemodialysis.

On dialysis days, take Vemlidy after your hemodialysis session is finished.

Vemlidy is not recommended for people with end-stage renal disease who are not receiving chronic hemodialysis.

Take Vemlidy Regularly

Take Vemlidy every day as prescribed, even if you feel well.

Hepatitis B can remain active without causing noticeable symptoms, so regular treatment is important for keeping the virus under control.

Do Not Change Your Dose on Your Own

Do not increase, decrease, or stop Vemlidy without speaking with your healthcare provider.

Stopping hepatitis B treatment can cause the virus to become more active and may lead to a serious worsening of liver disease.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose of Vemlidy, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.

If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Monitoring During Treatment

Your healthcare provider may order blood and urine tests before and during treatment to monitor:

  • Kidney function
  • Liver function
  • Hepatitis B virus levels
  • Urine protein and glucose
  • Blood phosphorus in people with chronic kidney disease

These tests help make sure Vemlidy is working safely and effectively.

Worsening Hepatitis B After Stopping Treatment

Do not stop taking Vemlidy without speaking with your healthcare provider.

Stopping hepatitis B treatment can cause the virus to become more active and may lead to a serious worsening of hepatitis B.

Your healthcare provider may monitor your liver function for several months after Vemlidy is stopped.

HIV-1 Infection and Drug Resistance

Vemlidy should not be used by itself to treat HIV-1 infection.

Before starting Vemlidy, your healthcare provider should test you for HIV.

If someone has both hepatitis B and HIV and takes Vemlidy alone, the HIV virus may become resistant to certain antiviral medications.

Kidney Problems

Vemlidy can cause new or worsening kidney problems. Rare cases of acute kidney failure and kidney tubule problems have also been reported.

The risk may be higher if you already have kidney disease or take other medicines that can affect the kidneys.

Your healthcare provider may monitor:

  • Kidney function
  • Urine protein
  • Urine glucose
  • Blood phosphorus if you have chronic kidney disease

Contact your healthcare provider if you notice major changes in urination, unusual weakness, swelling, or other symptoms of kidney problems.

Lactic Acidosis and Serious Liver Problems

Rarely, medicines in this drug class can cause lactic acidosis, which is a dangerous buildup of lactic acid in the blood.

They can also cause severe liver enlargement with fat buildup.

Seek medical attention if you develop symptoms such as:

  • Severe weakness or tiredness
  • Unusual muscle pain
  • Trouble breathing
  • Persistent nausea or vomiting
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes

Drug Interactions

Vemlidy can interact with other medications.

Some drugs can lower the amount of Vemlidy in your body and make it less effective. Other medicines may increase the risk of kidney problems.

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.

Particular caution may be needed with medications that strongly affect P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or kidney function.

Liver Problems

Vemlidy is used in people with chronic hepatitis B and compensated liver disease.

It is not recommended for people with moderate or severe decompensated liver disease.

Your healthcare provider may monitor your liver function regularly during treatment.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Available pregnancy information has not shown a clear increased risk of major birth defects from tenofovir alafenamide, but your healthcare provider will consider the benefits and potential risks before recommending treatment.

Do not stop Vemlidy during pregnancy without medical advice, because stopping hepatitis B treatment can cause the infection to worsen.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed.

Your healthcare provider will consider your treatment needs, the benefits of breastfeeding, and any potential risks to the infant before advising you.

Monitoring During Treatment

Your healthcare provider may order regular blood and urine tests while you are taking Vemlidy.

These tests may check:

  • Liver function
  • Kidney function
  • Hepatitis B virus levels
  • Urine protein and glucose
  • Blood phosphorus in people with chronic kidney disease

Keep all scheduled follow-up appointments so your healthcare provider can make sure Vemlidy is working safely.

How long do I need to take Vemlidy?

Treatment for chronic hepatitis B is often long-term. Continue taking Vemlidy every day for as long as your healthcare provider recommends, even if you feel well and have no symptoms. Do not stop Vemlidy on your own. Stopping treatment can cause hepatitis B to become more active and may lead to a serious worsening of liver disease.

Is Vemlidy a cure for hepatitis B?

No. Vemlidy does not cure hepatitis B. It helps lower the amount of hepatitis B virus in your body and can reduce ongoing liver inflammation and damage. The virus can remain in the body even when treatment is working well, so regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Vemlidy?

Alcohol can damage the liver, and hepatitis B already affects liver health. It is best to ask your healthcare provider whether alcohol is safe for you while taking Vemlidy. Depending on your liver condition, your healthcare provider may recommend limiting or avoiding alcohol.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Vemlidy?

If you miss a dose of Vemlidy, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
