Overview
Trustiva Tablet is a fixed-dose combination antiretroviral medicine containing efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, used as a complete once-daily regimen to treat HIV-1 infection in adults, either alone or with other antiretroviral medicines as directed by a specialist.
The three medicines work together at different steps of the HIV life cycle: efavirenz and emtricitabine/tenofovir block the virus from copying its genetic material, together suppressing viral replication and helping the immune system recover.
How it Works
Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that blocks the reverse transcriptase enzyme HIV needs to convert its RNA into DNA. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate are nucleos(t)ide analogues that are incorporated into the growing viral DNA chain, causing it to terminate. Together, these actions suppress the virus’s ability to replicate, keeping viral load low and allowing immune function to be preserved or restored.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet whole with water on an empty stomach, ideally at bedtime, as taking it with a high-fat meal can increase side effects. Take it at the same time every day without missing doses.
Dosage
The usual adult dose is one tablet taken once daily, preferably on an empty stomach and at bedtime, to reduce nervous system side effects. Your specialist confirms the appropriate regimen based on your treatment history.
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.

Drug / Food Interactions

- Efavirenz can affect the levels of many other medicines, including some other antiretrovirals, some anti-tuberculosis medicines, and hormonal contraceptives – use additional barrier contraception.
