Table of contents
Overview
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Krka is an HIV medicine that is used in combination with at least one other HIV medicine to treat adults infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‑1), a virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In addition, it may be used in adolescents with HIV who are resistant to first-line treatments or who cannot take them because of side effects.
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Krka is also used to help prevent sexually transmitted HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents who are at high risk of being infected (pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP). It should be used in combination with safer sex practices, such as use of condoms.
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Krka contains two active substances, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil. It is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that it contains the same active substances and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Truvada.
