TENOCRUZ TABS 30'S 30'S

About

TENOCRUZ TABS 30'S is an antiviral medication classified as a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI). It works by interfering with the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme crucial for the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). By inhibiting this enzyme, TENOCRUZ effectively reduces the viral load in infected individuals, helping to manage the progression of HIV-1 infection and chronic hepatitis B. It is a cornerstone in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for HIV and is also used as a monotherapy or in combination for chronic HBV. Its efficacy and once-daily dosing regimen contribute significantly to patient adherence and long-term viral suppression, improving overall health outcomes.
