Dosage and Administration
Tafero EM (Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Alafenamide) tablet is a combination of two antiretroviral medications. It helps to delay the production of HIV infection and improves the quality of life. This medication is not a permanent cure for HIV infection. It only prevents the multiplication of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection in human cells.

Do not take this medicine in the wrong way as it may lead to some serious side effects. If you experience any signs and symptoms while receiving the Tafero-EM tablet, inform your doctor immediately.
Mechanism of action
Emtricitabine (Tafero EM), a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine, is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes to form emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate. Emtricitabine inhibits the activity of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) by competing with the natural substrate deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate and by being incorporated into nascent viral DNA, which results in chain termination.
