Uses / Indications:
HIV-1 infection (typically treated with different antiretrovirals in adults and adolescents)
Chronic infection with hepatitis B (in adults and some children)
When used with other medications, it helps prevent HIV transmission from mother to child during pregnancy.
Pregnancy interaction:
Tenofovir is thought to be reasonably safe to use when pregnant.
It is frequently used in pregnant women with HIV to stop the virus from being passed from mother to child, and studies show that it does not raise the risk of birth abnormalities.
During pregnancy, it should only be used under a doctor's supervision.
Because tenofovir can enter breast milk, women who are nursing should speak with their doctor.
Expert advice:
For optimal effects, take daily at the same time.
Stopping the medication without a doctor's advise could result in a relapse of hepatitis B or HIV drug resistance.
Liver and kidney function must be regularly monitored.
Even when taking medicine, use barrier protection (condoms) to stop the spread of infection.
Report any symptoms such as weariness, bone pain, or renal problems (poor urine output).
Side Effects:
Typical adverse effects:
diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea
headache and lightheadedness
Pain in the abdomen
Fatigue
Significant adverse effects (get medical assistance):
Issues with the kidneys (back discomfort, poor urine, edema)
Breathing difficulties, weakness, and muscle soreness are symptoms of lactic acidosis.
Osteoporosis, or bone thinning or fractures
severe liver issues (dark urine, eye and skin discoloration)
How to use:
Take one pill per day, or as directed by a physician.
It is possible to take it with or without food, though eating may lessen stomach discomfort.
Do not chew or crush; instead, swallow whole with water.
Even if you feel better, keep going to treatment as directed.
How it works:
Tenfoclear 300mg Tablet prevents the multiplication of HIV virus in human cells. Thus stops the HIV virus from producing new viruses.
Faq for medicine:
Q1. What is the purpose of Tenfoclear 300mg Tablet?
It is used to treat chronic hepatitis B infection and HIV infection (in conjunction with other antiretroviral medications).
Q2. Can Tenfoclear treat Hepatitis B or HIV?
It helps manage viral load, boost immunity, and avoid problems, but it does not treat HIV or hepatitis B.
Q3. What is the recommended duration of Tenfoclear use?
As directed, it must be taken consistently. Abruptly stopping can lead to drug resistance or exacerbate the condition.
Q4. Is it possible to use Tenfoclear alone?
No, it is always administered in conjunction with other antiretrovirals as part of HIV treatment. It can be used as monotherapy for hepatitis B.
Q5. How should I proceed if I forget to take a dose?
As soon as you recall, take it. If your next dose is almost here, skip the one you missed. Avoid taking two doses.
Medicine interaction:
A nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) is tenofovir.
It inhibits reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that viruses require in order to proliferate.
This lowers the viral load and strengthens the immune system by stopping the HIV and hepatitis B viruses from replicating
