Odefsey (Emtricitabine + Rilpivirine + Tenofovir Alafenamide) Tablet

Odefsey is typically prescribed as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg (approximately 77 pounds) who have not previously received antiretroviral treatment or whose HIV-1 virus is currently suppressed. It is usually taken once daily with food for optimal absorption.

As with any medication, Odefsey may cause side effects, including but not limited to nausea, diarrhea, headache, and abnormal dreams. It is important for patients to take Odefsey exactly as prescribed by their healthcare provider and to discuss any concerns or side effects with their doctor. Additionally, Odefsey is not a cure for HIV infection and does not prevent the transmission of HIV to others, so patients should continue to practice safe sex and take other precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.

Emtricitabine: This is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) that works by blocking the action of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme necessary for the HIV virus to replicate. Emtricitabine helps to reduce the amount of HIV in the body and slows down the progression of the disease.

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF): TAF is also a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) and works similarly to emtricitabine by inhibiting reverse transcriptase. However, TAF is a newer formulation of tenofovir that has been shown to be effective at lower doses, leading to reduced side effects compared to older formulations of tenofovir (such as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, TDF).
Rilpivirine: This is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) that works by binding to and inhibiting the action of reverse transcriptase. Rilpivirine prevents the HIV virus from replicating and helps to keep the virus at low levels in the body.

How Odefsey Tablet Works

Together, emtricitabine, tenofovir alafenamide, and rilpivirine work synergistically to suppress the replication of HIV-1 virus in the body. By inhibiting different steps in the viral replication cycle, these medications reduce the viral load in the blood and slow down the progression of HIV infection. Odefsey is designed to be taken once daily, providing convenient and effective treatment for individuals living with HIV-1.
