Overview
Taflon 25mg Film Coated Tablets contains tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, an antiviral medicine used to treat chronic hepatitis B infection in adults, and as one component of combination therapy for HIV infection.
Tenofovir works by mimicking a natural building block of viral DNA. When the virus’s own enzymes try to incorporate it into new viral DNA, the chain cannot be completed, which stops the hepatitis B or HIV virus from multiplying inside infected cells.
How it Works
Tenofovir is converted inside cells to its active form, which is then incorporated by the viral enzyme (reverse transcriptase or polymerase) into the growing chain of new viral DNA, causing the chain to terminate. This prevents the hepatitis B or HIV virus from completing its replication cycle.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet at about the same time each day, with or without food. Do not stop this medicine suddenly without your doctor’s advice, as stopping antiviral treatment for hepatitis B can cause a serious flare of liver inflammation.
Dosage
The usual dose is one tablet once daily, but the exact dose and duration of treatment (which for chronic hepatitis B is often long-term) is determined by the treating doctor based on liver function, viral markers, and kidney function.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Quick Tips
- Never stop this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can trigger a serious flare of hepatitis B liver inflammation.
