About Tenaflo Tablet 10's

Tenaflo Tablet 10's is a prescription medication used to treat long-term (chronic) hepatitis B virus infection in adults and adolescents. It helps manage the virus, preventing it from multiplying and causing severe liver problems. This medication is essential for keeping the viral load in your body as low as possible over time.

For the best results, you must take Tenaflo Tablet 10's consistently every single day at the same time. You can take this tablet with or without food, but keeping a strict routine helps you remember your daily dose. Supporting your treatment with liver-friendly lifestyle choices, such as avoiding alcohol and eating a balanced diet, can further support your long-term health.

While taking Tenaflo Tablet 10's, some people may experience mild side effects like headaches, cough, or joint pain. However, you must contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience signs of severe liver issues, such as yellowing of your skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe stomach pain.

Before you begin taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have other health conditions, especially kidney problems or an untreated HIV infection. Do not take this if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, or if you have untreated HIV, as taking this medicine alone can make the HIV virus much harder to treat in the future.

This medicine can interact with certain other treatments, such as tuberculosis drugs or herbal supplements, which can reduce its effectiveness. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or an older adult, consult your doctor to discuss whether this medication is safe for your specific situation

Uses of Tenaflo Tablet 10's

Your doctor may prescribe Tenaflo Tablet 10's to treat the following conditions:

  • Chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Infection: Tenaflo Tablet 10's helps by slowing down the growth of the hepatitis B virus in the body, which reduces the viral load and protects the liver from long-term damage and scarring.

 

Key Benefits

Tenaflo Tablet 10's provides several clinically proven benefits that help protect your long-term health and well-being:

  • Reduces Viral Activity: By keeping the virus from replicating, it lowers the amount of hepatitis B virus in your blood to highly manageable or undetectable levels.
  • Protects Liver Health: It significantly lowers the risk of developing severe complications like liver scarring (cirrhosis) or liver failure, helping your liver function normally.
  • Kidney and Bone Safety: Compared to older antiviral options, this formulation is highly targeted, meaning it delivers the active treatment directly to liver cells while being gentler on your kidneys and bones.

Directions for Use

  • Tenaflo Tablet 10's can be taken with meals for better effectiveness.
  • It is usually taken once daily or as advised by your doctor.
  • Swallow Tenaflo Tablet 10's as a whole with a glass of water.
  • Do not break, chew, or crush it.

How Tenaflo Tablet 10's Works

Tenaflo Tablet 10's contains tenofovir alafenamide which belongs to a class of antiviral medicines known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Once inside your body, the medicine is targeted directly to your liver cells, where the hepatitis B virus attempts to replicate. The medicine works by mimicking the natural building blocks that the virus needs to copy its genetic material. When the virus attempts to use the medicine to replicate itself, the drug blocks the specific enzyme responsible for copying the viral DNA. This halts the replication process, effectively stopping the virus from multiplying and protecting healthy liver cells from infection.
