    How Tenvir Tablet 30 Works?

    Tenvir Tablet contains tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (300 mg), which acts on your body in multiple ways:

    • Conversion to Active Form: After you take Tenvir Tablet, it gets converted into an active form called tenofovir inside your body.

    • Inhibits Viral Replication: Tenofovir competes with the natural building blocks of DNA inside viruses like HIV-1 and HBV, effectively preventing them from replicating.

    • Leads to DNA Chain Termination: Once incorporated into the viral DNA, tenofovir causes premature termination of the DNA chain. This stops the virus from replicating further and helps control the infection in your body.

  • Pregnancy

    It's recommended to consult your doctor before taking this medicine during pregnancy. Your doctor can best advise if the benefits outweigh any potential risks.

    Breastfeeding

    Mothers receiving Tenvir Tablet are advised not to breastfeed as the active ingredient may pass into breast milk and affect the baby.
