Expand Tenofovir Disoproxil Viatris 23 Sep 2022
 
Tenofovir disoproxil maleate is an antiviral medication used to treat two different viruses;
Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) and
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS is a type of medicine called HBV polymerase inhibitor and a nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI).

How TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS works in the Treatment of CHB:

TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS is used to treat CHB (an infection with hepatitis B virus [HBV]) in adults and paediatric patients aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 35 kg.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS works by interfering with the normal working of enzymes (HBV DNA polymerase) that are essential for HBV to reproduce itself. TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS may help lower the amount of hepatitis B virus in your body by lowering the ability of the virus to multiply and infect new liver cells and can improve the inflammation and scar tissue caused by the hepatitis B virus in your liver.
Lowering the amount of virus in your body may reduce the chance of developing cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer.
We do not know how long TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS may help treat your hepatitis.
Sometimes viruses change in your body and medicines no longer work. This is called drug resistance.

How TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS works in the Treatment of HIV Infection:

TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS is also used to treat HIV infection in adults and paediatric patients aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 35 kg.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS is always used in combination with other anti-HIV medicines to treat people with HIV-1 infection.
HIV infection destroys CD4 (T) cells, which are important to the immune system. After a large number of T cells are destroyed, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) develops.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS helps to block HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, a chemical (enzyme) in your body that is needed for HIV-1 to multiply. TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS lowers the amount of HIV-1 in the blood (called viral load) and may help to increase the number of T cells (called CD4 cells). Lowering the amount of HIV-1 in the blood lowers the chance of death or infections that happen when your immune system is weak (opportunistic infections).
You do not have to have HIV infection to be treated with TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS for HBV and vice versa.

Use in Children

TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL VIATRIS is for adults and paediatric patients aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 35 kg.
