Tenvir EM

Tenvir EM is an oral drug that is administered on a daily basis useful in the prevention of the spread of HIV. It is important to note that the drug does not cure the disease but it only works by preventing the spread of the virus to other parts of the body. If a child or an adult already has a HIV infection or if they are under the risk of being infected, a doctor will put the patient under medication immediately. 

 

The drug is made up of 200mg emtricitabine and 300mg tenofovir. Not only adults but also children are given the drug to stop the spread of the disease. 

 

Always ensure that the doctor’s prescription is followed to the latter. Labeling the drugs clearly will prevent confusion of the drug. Skipping dates or taking the drug partially may lessen your chances of recovery if not increasing the spread of the diseases further. The drug is prescribed for use over a long period of time. 

 

For starters, it should be noted that the Tenvir EM has serious outcomes in not only older persons but also the incapacitated and gravely ill patients.
