TAFMUNE EM TABLET is a combination of Tenofovir alafenamide and Emtricitabine which belongs to the group of medicines called Antiretroviral drugs. It is used in adults and adolescents (aged 12 years and older) along with other medicines to manage human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection. It can also be used to reduce the risk of getting HIV infection in adult and adolescent men who have intercourse with men. HIV targets the immune system and weakens your defence against many infections that people with healthy immune systems can fight off. As the virus destroys and impairs the function of immune cells, infected individuals gradually become immunodeficient and reach the most advanced stage of HIV infection called Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). It may present with the symptoms of any other infection like fever, throat pain, extreme tiredness, weight loss, muscle pain, etc. During course of the management your doctor might take regular blood tests to avoid any untoward side effects.
