How Does EMTRICITABINE 200 mg and TENOFOVIR ALAFENAMIDE 25 mg Work?

Emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide are nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). They block the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing the virus from copying its genetic material and producing new viral particles. This reduces the amount of HIV in the body, helps protect the immune system, and supports long-term viral control.
