Action

Tenovid contains the active substance tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. This active substance is an antiretroviral or antiviral medicine which is used to treat HIV or HBV infection or both. Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, generally known as an NRTI and works by interfering with the normal working of enzymes (in HIV reverse transcriptase; in hepatitis B DNA polymerase) that are essential for the viruses to reproduce themselves. In HIV Tenovid should always be used combined with other medicines to treat HIV infection.
