Atripla (Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate) and/or alternatives

General Information On Atripla

Atripla is an oral anti-viral medication that is used for treating HIV. It is a fixed-dose combination drug and consists of three drugs – Tenofovir, Emtricitabine and Efavirenz. Atripla was approved for the treatment of HIV in July, 2006. It may be used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat HIV. The drug prevents the reproduction and growth of the HIV virus (human immunodeficiency virus) inside the patient’s body. It does this by restricting the formation of the genetic material of the virus. Do note that Atripla does not cure AIDS.

Side Effects for Atripla

A large number of patients using Atripla (Tenofovir, Emtricitabine and Efavirenz) may not experience any noticeable side effects. However, many patients may encounter adverse reactions like nausea, diarrhea, flatulence, fatigue and drowsiness, liver problems, lack of concentration, insomnia, disturbed sleep and discoloration of the skin. The list of side effects is not complete, and there may be some other adverse effects. In case you suspect that any adverse reaction is due to the drug, make sure that you discuss it with your doctor.

In rare cases, Atripla may lead to the darkening of soles and palms. In a few instances, the use of drug may lead to kidney problems and thinning of the bones. The drug has been reported to cause redistribution of fat in the body in a few patients. In very few cases, lactic acidosis, a very serious side effect, has been reported. Patients are advised to read the patient information insert when they buy Atripla.

It is important to share your complete medical history with your doctor before starting the treatment.
