Infectious Disease Approved 2015-03-18

TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL FUMARATE is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 Infection; Chronic Hepatitis B.

How TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL FUMARATE Works

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor. It functions as an antiviral agent by inhibiting the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and HBV reverse transcriptase. By competing with natural substrates and causing DNA chain termination after incorporation into viral DNA, it blocks viral replication.
