Buy Complera

Complera (Emtricitabine/Rilpivirine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate) is a medication used in the treatment of HIV infection. Its active ingredients include emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir. It is classified as a Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) of antiretroviral medications. Emtricitabine and tenofovir are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) that work by inhibiting reverse transcriptase, preventing the virus from converting its RNA into DNA, an essential step for replication. Rilpivirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) that also works by blocking the action of reverse transcriptase, further disrupting the virus's replication process. Through the combination of these three medicines, Complera helps reduce viral load and slow the progression of HIV in infected individuals.
