Hi there
Acriptega and Ranega are different generic makes of the same HIV combination called TLD.

Confusingly, the tablets are sometimes marked LTD.
This single pill combination can be used as HIV treatment and PEP.
There are many generic versions of tenofovir DF (TD), lamivudine (3TC)and dolutegravir coformulated into a single pill (TLD). These include Acriptega, Damicava, Dovimil, Emdolten, Lanograv, Lavern, Luvigen, Milutin, Nuvaco, Odystra, Ranega, Reydin, Telado, Telatri, Temiv, Tladeez, Viripil and Volutrip.
Hi Sipho, please don’t worry about this. These three drugs all contain the same meds. They are just made by different generic drug companies. Other names are included here:
