Overview

Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Zentiva 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 from the age of 12 years in adolescents with HIV that is resistant to first-line treatments or who cannot take them because of side effects.

Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Zentiva 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 Zentiva contains two active substances, emtricitabine (200 mg) and tenofovir disoproxil (245 mg). It is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil Zentiva contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Truvada.
