Tenofovir works to treat both HIV and hepatitis B. However, it should not be used on it’s own. To treat your HIV, you need a combination of 3 drugs.<\/p>\n
Because you are co-infected with hepatitis B, your combination should include: tenofovir; either FTC (also known as emtricitabine) or 3TC (also known as lamivudine); and a third drug. The third drug will depend on your doctor’s recommendation.<\/p>\n
In response to your second question, in India, the price of tenofovir varies depending on whether it is the brand name drug or the generic drug. (Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients and are just as effective as the brand name drugs). For more detailed information on the range of prices, please follow this link to the MSF (Medicins Sans Frontieres) website.<\/a><\/p>\n Best wishes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Does tenofovir work for both HIV and hepatitis B?<\/p>\n How much does it cost?
