Tenvir-AF Tablet contains tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg) and its action on the body involves:

Inhibition of Replication: Once transformed into tenofovir diphosphate, this medicine works against both HBV and HIV-1 by inhibiting their replication process. It does this by competing with a natural substance in your body called deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate, which these viruses normally use to copy themselves.
Termination of DNA Chain Elongation: After being incorporated into viral DNA by specific enzymes of HBV and HIV-1 (known as reverse transcriptase enzymes), tenofovir diphosphate stops these viruses from making more copies of themselves by terminating the elongation of their DNA chains. This helps to control the number of virus particles in your body.

If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, caution is advised while taking Tenvir-AF Tablet. Always consult your doctor to weigh potential benefits against potential risks.

Breastfeeding

You should consider the health benefits of breastfeeding and your need for this medication before deciding to continue with nursing.
