Truvada (active ingredients: emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. HIV-1 Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): Truvada is used as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV-1 infection in adults at high risk.
  2. HIV-1 Treatment: Truvada is also indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 17 kg.

Truvada belongs to the drug class of antiretrovirals, specifically a combination of nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). This medication works by interfering with the enzymes necessary for HIV replication, thereby reducing viral load and slowing down the progression of HIV infection.

Truvada tablet is taken orally, usually once daily. Take Truvada consistently and exactly as prescribed. It can be taken with or without food. For pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), take Truvada every day to prevent HIV infection. When taken as PrEP, use other methods of HIV prevention, such as condoms, safe injection practices, and regular HIV testing. Talk to a healthcare provider about the appropriate use and potential risks and side effects of Truvada.

The recommended dosage of Truvada for adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg is one tablet (containing 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) taken orally, usually once daily. However, for individuals with renal impairment, the recommended dosage may vary. In cases of CrCl (creatinine clearance) 30-49 mL/min, the recommended dosage is one tablet every 48 hours. Truvada is not recommended for individuals with CrCl <30 mL/min and ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) requiring hemodialysis.
