Emtricitabine Rilpivirine Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate Brand Name-Complera
What is Emtricitabine Rilpivirine Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
Emtricitabine Rilpivirine Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is indicated for use as a complete regimen to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infections in antiretroviral-naive adults and pediatric patients who weigh at least 35 kg and have baseline HIV RNA concentrations of 100,000 copies/mL or lower.
It is also approved for use as a replacement therapy in treatment-experienced adults who have been virologically-suppressed (i.e., HIV RNA less than 50 copies/mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 6 months, have no history of treatment failure, and who are without known substitutions associated with resistance to any of the individual components.
The drug is a combination antiretroviral medication containing two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) and one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (rilpivirine).
Indications
- human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prophylaxis
NOTE: HIV guidelines recommend consideration be given to avoiding use of rilpivirine-containing regimens in patients with pre-existing psychiatric illnesses or prolongation of the QTc interval.
NOTE: HIV guidelines recommend consideration be given to avoiding use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing regimens in patients with renal disease and osteoporosis
