What is Biktarvy?

Biktarvy is a prescription medication used to treat an HIV-1 infection. It’s given to adults, and to children who weigh at least 55 pounds (25kg).

If you or your child have an HIV-1 infection, your doctor may have prescribed Biktarvy to treat it. Biktarvy can’t cure an HIV-1 infection, but it can help to reduce how much of the virus you or your child have in their body (viral load), limiting the damage it can do to your or your child’s immune system. You take Biktarvy as a tablet you swallow, usually once a day, but always make sure you take your Biktarvy exactly as directed by the doctor who prescribed it to you.

Biktarvy active ingredients

Biktarvy contains three active ingredients: bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide. They are each an antiviral drug that can stop the spread of the HIV-1 virus through your T-cells.

When the HIV-1 virus invades your T-cells, it inserts itself into their DNA. The virus then takes advantage of the cells’ natural DNA copying process to reproduce itself. As more copies of the virus are made, eventually the T-cell dies, and the viruses spread to other T-cells, continuing the cycle. Biktarvy helps to stop this happening.

Bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide each interrupt a step in the DNA copying process that the HIV-1 virus exploits to copy itself. They do this by blocking different enzymes involved in the copying process. This makes it harder for the virus to multiply, limiting the amount of virus you have in your body (your viral load).

Biktarvy side effects & Biktarvy drug interactions

The most common side effects caused by Biktarvy include:

• Headaches
• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Diarrhea

In rare instances, Biktarvy can cause more serious side effects, like:

• Severe allergic reactions to the medication
• A worsening or reemergence of an existing hepatitis B infection if you have or previously have had one
• New or worsening kidney problems, including kidney failure
• Severe liver problems, including liver failure
• Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis), that can cause serious health problems and can be fatal
• A strengthening of your immune system (immune reconstitution syndrome) – your immune system may fight infections that have been hidden in your body for a long time

Your doctor will assess the benefits of taking Biktarvy against your risk of side effects.

Biktarvy can interact with other medications. This can change how Biktarvy and the other medications work and can make some side effects more likely. Tell your prescribing doctor about all drugs you’re taking, including vitamins, and herbal and dietary supplements, particularly:

• An antiarrhythmic agent called dofetilide, used to treat a range of heart rhythm and heart rate problems
• An antibiotic called rifampin
