Virofast-Alfa Tablet 30's contains ‘Tenofovir disoproxil’, which is an antiretroviral agent. It can effectively cause viral suppression in HIV and chronic hepatitis B. It acts on the enzymes that are essential for the replication of the virus. The enzyme essential for HIV replication is reverse transcriptase, and the enzyme for hepatitis B is DNA polymerase. Virofast-Alfa Tablet 30's blocks these enzymes and decreases the viral load in the blood.

Do not take Virofast-Alfa Tablet 30's if you are allergic to ‘tenofovir disoproxil’ or any other contents present in it. It is contraindicated in adolescents with kidney failure. When this medicine is used in combination therapy for HIV, there is a risk of osteonecrosis (bone tissue death). There is a severe risk of fatal complications in patients with severe liver diseases, including chronic hepatitis B or C. Consult a doctor immediately if you develop any new signs of infection while using this medicine, as there is a chance of opportunistic infections (infection seen in patients with a weak immune system). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
