Trustiva Tablets – Introduction
Trustiva Tablet is a combination antiretroviral drug used to manage and treat HIV-1 infection in adults and children over the age of 12. It contains Emtricitabine 200 + Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 + Efavirenz 600 which helps to reduce the viral load in the body, maintaining the health of the immune system and preventing the progression to AIDS. This combination therapy is trusted by doctors to effectively manage HIV, improving the quality of life for those living with the virus.

How Trustiva Tablets Works: A Closer Look

Trustiva Tablet is a highly effective antiretroviral medication used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection, combining Efavirenz, Emtricitabine, and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate. Efavirenz, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), binds directly to the reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing the conversion of viral RNA into DNA.

Emtricitabine, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), is phosphorylated inside the cell to form Emtricitabine 5’-triphosphate, which competes with natural nucleosides and causes chain termination when incorporated into viral DNA. Tenofovir

Disoproxil Fumarate, a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), converts into Tenofovir diphosphate in the body and mimics natural nucleotides, leading to further DNA chain termination. Together, these three drugs provide a multi-faceted attack on the HIV replication process, effectively reducing the viral load and helping maintain immune function in individuals with HIV-1 infection.
