Make TRUVADA part of your daily routine. Two well-known medications, VIREAD and EMTRIVA, have been combined into one convenient pill that you take only once a day. Plus, TRUVADA can be taken with or without food. Ask your doctor if TRUVADA is right for you as part of your combination HIV therapy.

INDICATION: TRUVADA is for use in combination with other anti-HIV agents to treat HIV infection in adults. TRUVADA contains two medicines, EMTRIVAR (emtricitabine) and VIREADR (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate), combined in one tablet.

EMTRIVA and VIREAD have each been studied separately. Clinical studies with TRUVADA or using EMTRIVA+VIREAD are ongoing

• Since EMTRIVA and Epivir® (3TC) are similar medicines, studies using VIREAD+3TC support the use of TRUVADA. Therefore, TRUVADA should be considered as an alternative to the combination of VIREAD+EMTRIVA or VIREAD+Epivir for someone who would benefit from a once-a-day regimen

• TRUVADA does not cure HIV infection. No studies show the effect of TRUVADA on the clinical progression of HIV. TRUVADA should not be used as part of a triple nucleoside regimen

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

• Lactic acidosis (a buildup of acid in the blood) can be a medical emergency and may need to be treated in the hospital. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have nausea, vomiting, unusual muscle pain, and/or weakness
