Tenofovir Alafenamide Tablets is an antiviral medicine used to manage chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection by reducing viral replication and helping protect the liver from ongoing viral activity.
Key Benefits
- Helps suppress hepatitis B virus replication
- Supports the management of chronic hepatitis B infection
- Helps reduce HBV viral load
- Supports the reduction of viral activity in the liver
- May help limit ongoing liver inflammation and liver damage associated with active HBV infection
How It Works
Tenofovir alafenamide is converted inside cells into the active form of tenofovir, which inhibits the HBV polymerase enzyme. This interferes with viral DNA synthesis and prevents hepatitis B virus from multiplying effectively, helping reduce viral levels in the body.
Common Side Effects
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Abdominal discomfort
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Indigestion
Important Information
Tenofovir Alafenamide Tablets should be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Regular monitoring of liver function and HBV viral activity may be required during treatment. Do not stop treatment without medical advice, as hepatitis B may worsen or flare after discontinuation. This medicine does not cure hepatitis B or prevent transmission of HBV to others, so appropriate precautions should be followed. Inform your healthcare professional about kidney or liver problems, HIV infection, and all medicines or supplements you are taking. Seek medical advice if significant weakness, persistent abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes occurs.
