How it works:
Tenvir 300mg Tablet has Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in it, which is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI).
It works by blocking the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which viruses like HIV and Hepatitis B need to make copies of themselves.
This stops the virus from making more copies of itself and helps lower the viral load, boost the immune system, and halt the progression of the disease.
