Tenvir EM - buy generic Truvada online at Indian prices

Tenvir-EM Cipla availability in the USA

You cannot buy this medication from your local USA pharmacy. However, we sell the most popular worldwide generic version of Truvada. This is called Tenvir-EM and is made by Indian pharmaceutical giant Cipla.

Tenvir-EM tablets are also used for HIV treatment for millions of people in Africa and other parts of the world. This is because the USA patent protections do not apply in their countries.

The U.S.A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have approved Tenvir-EM (FDA tentative approval) for this purpose.

TENVIR-EM usage?

Tenvir EM is combination of two antiretroviral drugs namely emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Importantly they are only effective against RNA viruses such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

In order to be effective, Tenvir EM Cipla must be taken with at least one other anti-HIV medication. As a result, this will help prevent the HIV virus from progressing to AIDS.

Does Tenvir-EM have FDA approval?

Tenvir-EM has received 'tentative' FDA approval. This means it has the same safety, efficacy and quality standards as the brand version Truvada.

The reason it is only tentative approval is because Truvada is still protected by its patent. Therefore it cannot be sold in USA pharmacies until this patent owned by Gliead has expired.

How successful is Tenvir EM at treating HIV?

According to the article below, PreP shows a reduction in the risk of HIV infection by up-to 92% when taken consistently.

In this study, 100 percent of the participants remained HIV-free. Not one person in the study by Clinical Infectious Diseases became infected while on the drug during the 2.5 year study period.

We also sell other HIV medications such as Viraday (Generic Atripla) and Isentress.

How many people take Truvada or Tenvir-EM?

More than 79,000 people in the USA have started Truvada for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) over the last four years (to 2015), according to the latest survey of retail pharmacies by Gilead Sciences.

The US FDA approved Truvada (tenofovir/emtricitabine) for HIV prevention in July 2012.

It is difficult to estimate the total number of people who have taken PrEP and generic PrEP such as Tenvir EM because this information is not centrally collected. Also many people are buying it without prescriptions.
