Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir is a prescription medication that contains three antiretroviral medicines: efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir. It is used as part of the treatment for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.
HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight infections and certain diseases. Without treatment, HIV can gradually weaken the immune system and progress to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir belongs to a group of medications called antiretrovirals. These medications work together to reduce the amount of HIV in the body, helping to control the infection and support immune system health.
Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir is used as part of an antiretroviral treatment regimen for adults and certain pediatric patients living with HIV-1 infection.
The medication helps:
While this medication helps control HIV, it is not a cure for HIV or AIDS. Continued treatment is necessary to keep the virus under control.
This medication combines three different antiretroviral agents that work together to prevent HIV from multiplying.
Efavirenz
Efavirenz belongs to a class of medications called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). It works by blocking an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which HIV needs to reproduce.
Emtricitabine and Tenofovir
Emtricitabine and tenofovir belong to a class of medications called nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). These medications interfere with the virus’s ability to make copies of itself, helping slow the spread of HIV within the body.
Combined Action
By targeting HIV in different ways, the three medications work together to:
When taken consistently as prescribed, Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir can be highly effective at controlling HIV infection and helping people live longer, healthier lives.
Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir is available as an oral tablet and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The medication is typically taken once daily on an empty stomach, usually at bedtime.
Taking the medication at bedtime may help reduce certain side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, or unusual dreams that can occur with efavirenz.
Because this medication contains fixed doses of efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir, it should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider who has determined that the combination and dosage are appropriate for you.
Consistently taking your HIV medication is essential for keeping the virus under control.
Do not:
Missing doses can allow HIV to multiply, which may:
Drug-resistant HIV can limit future treatment options and make long-term management of the infection more challenging.
Continue taking Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir and any other HIV medications exactly as directed, even if you feel well. HIV treatment is most effective when medications are taken consistently every day.
Regular follow-up appointments, blood tests, and viral load monitoring are important to help ensure your treatment remains safe and effective.
Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir (Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir) is available in the following forms and strength:
Before starting Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir, discuss your complete medical history with your healthcare provider, especially if you have liver disease, kidney disease, osteoporosis, mental health conditions, or other significant health concerns.
Although rare, this medication may cause lactic acidosis, a serious condition caused by a buildup of lactic acid in the blood.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms such as:
This medication may cause serious liver problems, including liver damage or, in rare cases, liver failure.
The risk may be higher in people who:
Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you notice symptoms such as:
Regular blood tests may be recommended to monitor liver function during treatment.
Efavirenz has been associated with mental health side effects in some people, including:
Tell your healthcare provider immediately if you experience changes in mood, worsening depression, or thoughts of self-harm.
Tenofovir may affect kidney function, particularly in people with existing kidney disease or other risk factors.
Your healthcare provider may monitor your kidney function with blood and urine tests before and during treatment.
Long-term use of tenofovir has been associated with:
The risk may be higher in people who already have osteoporosis or other risk factors for bone loss. Your healthcare provider may recommend monitoring bone health during treatment.
As HIV treatment begins to strengthen the immune system, the body may start responding to previously hidden infections. This condition is known as immune reconstitution syndrome or immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS).
Symptoms can vary depending on the infection involved and should be reported to your healthcare provider promptly.
Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir can interact with many medications, including:
Some interactions may increase side effects or reduce the effectiveness of HIV treatment. Always inform your healthcare provider and pharmacist about everything you take before starting this medication.
Some studies have suggested that certain antiretroviral medications, including efavirenz-containing regimens, may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in some patients.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have:
Your healthcare provider can help monitor and manage any cardiovascular risk factors during treatment.
Regular follow-up appointments and laboratory monitoring are important while taking Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir to help ensure the medication remains safe and effective.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before taking this medication. Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir may be used during pregnancy when appropriate, and your healthcare provider can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of treatment. Maintaining effective HIV treatment during pregnancy is important for both maternal health and reducing the risk of HIV transmission to the baby.
Although uncommon, Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir can cause serious liver problems in some people. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you develop symptoms of liver damage, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark-colored urine, persistent nausea or vomiting, pain or tenderness in the upper abdomen, or unusual tiredness or weakness. Your healthcare provider may recommend regular blood tests during treatment to monitor your liver function and help detect any problems early.
If you miss a dose of Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose. Missing doses can make HIV more difficult to control and may increase the risk of drug resistance, so it is important to take your medication consistently.
HIV treatment is usually a long-term commitment. The length of treatment will depend on your individual situation and your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Most people living with HIV take antiretroviral medications every day on an ongoing basis to keep the virus under control, maintain immune system health, and prevent complications. Continue taking the medication exactly as prescribed unless your healthcare provider instructs you otherwise.
Alcohol may increase certain side effects of Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir, including dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Because of these potential effects, it is generally recommended to limit or avoid alcohol while taking this medication. If you drink alcohol regularly, speak with your healthcare provider about whether alcohol consumption is appropriate for you during treatment and what amount, if any, may be considered safe.
