Tenvir Tablet is a medicine used to treat HIV infection and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in combination with other anti-HIV medicines. It works by preventing the multiplication of viruses in human cells, which helps to clear up the infection and lower the risk of HIV-related complications.
However, Tenvir Tablet is not a cure for HIV/AIDS, and it should not be used alone. It must be taken in combination with other anti-HIV medicines, and taking them regularly and at the right time increases their effectiveness and reduces the chances of HIV becoming resistant to them. It may also be used to prevent HIV infection in some people at high risk.
This medicine is best taken with food, and it may cause some common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, trouble sleeping, headache, and rash. These side effects are usually not serious, but you should inform your doctor if they bother you or will not go away. However, taking Tenvir Tablet for a long time may increase the risk of bone loss (osteoporosis). To prevent this, you may need to exercise regularly and take calcium and vitamin D supplements as suggested by your doctor.
Before taking Tenvir Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney disease or bone problems. While taking it, you may need regular blood tests to check your blood counts, liver function, and kidney function. This medicine may cause dizziness or sleepiness, so you should not drive until you know how it affects you. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before using this medicine. If you are HIV positive, you should avoid having unprotected sex or sharing personal items like razors or toothbrushes. Talk to your doctor about safe ways like condoms to prevent HIV transmission during sex.
