Truvada (Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate)

Truvada Information:

Truvada (generic name: Emtricitabine/Tenofovir) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of HIV. The active ingredients are Emtricitabine and Tenofovir. Emtricitabine and Tenofovir both belong to the group of drugs called antivirals. The combination of drugs works by preventing HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) cells from multiplying in the body. HIV is the illness that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Truvada does not cure HIV or AIDs, but simply slows down the rate at which the illness takes hold of the body. People with HIV or AIDs have a lowered immune system, and as the immune system becomes weaker, the body becomes more open to infections and viruses. If a virus or infections is caught, then the body is unable to fight off the illness and multiple viruses or infections at once can lead to death. Truvada helps to slow down the process allowing the patient to be healthier for longer.
