What is Truvada?

Truvada is a prescription medication used to treat HIV-1 infections. You take Truvada as a tablet you swallow, usually one tablet a day. It’s used to:

• Treat an HIV-1 infection, alongside other HIV-1 medications, in adults and children who weigh at least 37 pounds (17 kg)
• Reduce the risk of adults getting an HIV-1 infection through sex (when taken every day as a preventative measure and used together with safer sex practices).

If you have an HIV-1 infection, your doctor may prescribe Truvada to you to help treat your infection. Truvada won’t cure your HIV-1 infection, but it will help to reduce how much virus you have in your body (your viral load). This can limit the damage to your immune system the virus causes and can better help your immune system fight other infections and some types of cancer.

Alternatively, you may be prescribed Truvada if you don’t have HIV-1, to help reduce your chances of getting the infection through sex (called a pre-exposure prophylaxis). This is usually because you have a sexual partner who has an HIV-1 infection.

Truvada active ingredients

Truvada contains two active ingredients: emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. They’re both antiretroviral drugs that treat a group of viruses called retroviruses (the HIV-1 virus is a type of retrovirus).

The HIV-1 virus invades your T-cells and inserts itself into their DNA to take advantage of the cell’s 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. Truvada helps to stop this happening.

Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate block a step in the DNA copying process that allows the virus to copy itself. This makes it harder for the virus to multiply, limiting the amount of virus you have in your body (your viral load).

Truvada side effects & Truvada drug interactions

When Truvada causes side effects, the most common are:

• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Diarrhea
• Skin rashes
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Tiredness
• Stomach (abdominal) pain
• Problems sleeping (insomnia)
• Abnormal dreams
• Decreased weight
• Depression

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

• Severe allergic reactions to the medication
• New or worsening kidney problems, including kidney failure
• 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 worsening of an existing hepatitis B infection.
• A range of bone problems, including bone pain, softening, or thinning (osteoporosis)
• Changes in body fat distribution, usually a loss of fat from the legs, arms, and face; and more fat accumulating on the back and neck (buffalo hump), the chest, and breast, and around the middle of the body (trunk)

When taken alongside other medications, Truvada can interact with these medications. This can change how Truvada and the other medications work and can make some side effects more likely. Tell your prescribing physician about all drugs you’re taking, particularly:

• Any medications that contain emtricitabine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, like Atripla, Complera, Emtriva, Genvoya, Odefsey, Stribild, or Viread
• Any medications that contain tenofovir alafenamide, like Genvoya or Odefsey
• Any medications that contain lamivudine, like Combivir, Dutrebis, Epivir, Epivir-HBV, Epzicom, Triumeq, or Trizivir
• Didanosine (Videx EC)
• Atazanavir (Reyataz)
• Ledipasvir with sofosbuvir (Harvoni)
• Darunavir (Prezista)
• Lopinavir with ritonavir (Kaletra)

Truvada warnings & precautions

You must know your HIV-1 status before taking Truvada if you’re using it to reduce your chances of becoming infected. You may already be HIV-positive, and in that case, Truvada alone will not be sufficient to treat your infection. Truvada is not a complete HIV-1 treatment and should be taken alongside other HIV-1 medications. The medication should not be used to treat an HIV-1 infection in children who weigh less than 37 pounds (17 kg).

Truvada isn’t suitable for everyone. Don’t take Truvada if you:

• Are allergic to the active ingredients emtricitabine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
• Are allergic to any of the other ingredients in Truvada (you can find these listed in the leaflet which comes with the medication)
• Are allergic to any other form of tenofovir

Talk to your doctor before taking Truvada if you:

• Are taking any of the medications that could interact with Truvada
• Have a hepatitis B infection
• Have any liver problems
• Have any kidney problems
• Have any bone problems
• Are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant
• Are breastfeeding or are planning to breastfeed
