Tenovir-AF 25 mg Tablets

Tenovir-AF 25 mg Tablets, made by CCL Pharmaceuticals Ltd, is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor antiviral. Its active ingredient is Tenofovir Alafenamide 25mg, and it is used for chronic hepatitis B and HIV. Pack size: 3 x 10 tablets.

Uses of Tenovir-AF 25 mg Tablets

Tenovir-AF 25 mg Tablets is used to treat long-term (chronic) hepatitis B infection in adults and adolescents, helping to keep the virus suppressed and protect the liver from further damage. It is also a component of several combination tablets used to treat and, in some cases, prevent HIV infection. It controls these viruses rather than clearing them, so treatment is usually long term.

How Tenovir-AF 25 mg Tablets works

Tenofovir alafenamide is converted inside cells to tenofovir, which blocks the reverse transcriptase enzyme that hepatitis B and HIV need to copy their genetic material. Because it concentrates inside the target cells, lower blood levels are needed, which is gentler on the kidneys and bones than older tenofovir.

Possible side effects

Tenovir-AF 25 mg Tablets is usually well tolerated. The more common side effects are:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Tiredness
• Stomach pain
• Dizziness

Contact your doctor quickly if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools or severe tiredness, especially after stopping treatment, as hepatitis B can flare up badly.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop taking it without speaking to your doctor, as stopping can cause a serious worsening of hepatitis B.
• You should be tested for HIV before starting it for hepatitis B, because using it alone in untreated HIV can lead to resistance.
• Your doctor may check kidney function and bone health during long-term treatment.
• Tell your doctor about other medicines, especially rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin and St John’s wort, which can lower its levels.
• Avoid alcohol to protect your liver, and discuss pregnancy and breastfeeding with your doctor.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
