About Trilavir E Tablet

Trilavir E Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called ‘antiretroviral agents’ used to treat HIV infection. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune cells of the body leading to decreased immunity. It spreads through body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluid, and blood. Symptoms include fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, tiredness, and sore throat that usually last for days to several weeks.

Trilavir E Tablet contains Emtricitabine, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate and Efavirenz. Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. They work by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme production, which is necessary for the multiplication of the viruses. This effect helps to inhibit viral replication.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Trilavir E Tablet are dizziness, headache, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, rashes (red spots or blotches, sometimes with blistering and swelling of the skin), and feeling weak.
