Overview
Tenvir Tablet contains tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300mg, a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) antiretroviral medicine. It is used, in combination with other antiretroviral medicines, to treat HIV-1 infection, and is also used to treat chronic hepatitis B infection.
Tenofovir is converted inside cells into its active form, which blocks the reverse transcriptase enzyme that HIV and hepatitis B virus need to copy their genetic material, stopping the virus from replicating.
How it Works
