Full Consumer Medicine Information (CMI)
This leaflet provides important information about using TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600. You should also speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you would like further information
or if you have any concerns or questions about using TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600.
Where to find information in this leaflet:
1. Why am I using TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600?
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 contains the active
ingredients tenofovir disoproxil maleate, emtricitabine and efavirenz.
These are combined in one tablet to help control Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1)
infection.
Tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine belong to a group of antiviral medicines known
as nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI). Efavirenz belongs
to a group of antiviral medicines known as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(NNRTI).
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 is used to treat
HIV-1 infection in adults. This medicine can be taken alone or in combination with
other anti-HIV medicines.
Do not take TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 if you
are under the age of 18 years.
Do not take TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 if you
are over the age of 65 before discussing with your doctor.
How TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 works
HIV-1 infection destroys CD4 T cells, which are important to the immune system. The
immune system helps fight infection. After a large number of T cells are destroyed,
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) may develop.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 helps block HIV-
1 reverse transcriptase, a viral chemical in your body (enzyme) that is needed for
HIV-1 to multiply. TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600
lowers the amount of HIV-1 in the blood (viral load). TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600 may also help to increase the number of T cells (CD4+ cells),
allowing your immune system to improve. Lowering the amount of HIV-1 in the blood
lowers the chance of death or infections that happen when your immune system is weak
(opportunistic infections).
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 does not cure HIV-1
infection or AIDS.
The long-term effects of TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600
are not known at this time. People taking TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600 may still get opportunistic infections or other conditions that
happen with HIV- 1 infection.
Opportunistic infections are infections that develop because the immune system is
weak.
Some of these conditions are:
• pneumonia,
• herpes virus infections, and
• Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infections.
This medicine is only available from a pharmacist after it has been prescribed by
a doctor who specialises in the treatment of HIV- 1 infection.
If you wish to continue receiving treatment with TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600, it is important you remain under the care of a hospital or doctor
who specialises in the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 has not been shown
to lower your chance of passing HIV to others through sexual contact, sharing needles,
or being exposed to your blood.
Do not share needles or other injection equipment.
Do not share personal items that can have blood or body fluids on them, like toothbrushes
or razor blades.
Do not have any kind of sex without protection.

you understand these risks and how to monitor for them. See additional information
under Section
6. Are there any side effects?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant.
Women taking TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 should
not become pregnant. Serious birth defects have been seen in the babies of animals
and women treated with efavirenz (a component of TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600) during pregnancy. It is not known whether efavirenz caused these
defects.
Women of child-bearing age receiving treatment with TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600 should not rely only on hormone-based birth control, such as pills,
injections or implants.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 may make these contraceptives
ineffective. Women must use a reliable form or barrier contraception (such as a condom
or diaphragm), even if they also use other methods of birth control.
Talk to your doctor if you are breastfeeding or intend to breastfeed.
Do not breast-feed if you are taking TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600.
It is recommended that nursing mothers do not breast-feed during treatment with TENOFOVIR
DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600. In general, women infected
with HIV should not breast-feed their infants in order to avoid transmission of HIV
to their newborn infant.
The active substances in this medicine (tenofovir and emtricitabine and efavirenz)
have been found in breast milk at low concentrations.
Do not breast-feed if you have HIV or HBV.
If you are a woman who has or will have a baby, talk with your doctor or pharmacist
about the best way to feed your baby. If your baby does not already have HIV or HBV,
there is a chance that the baby can get HIV or HBV through breast-feeding. In general,
women infected with HIV should not breast-feed their infants in order to avoid transmission
of HIV to their newborn infant.
3. What if I am taking other medicines?
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medicines, including any
medicines, vitamins or supplements that you buy without a prescription from your pharmacy,
supermarket or health food shop.
TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ VIATRIS 300/200/600 may change the effect
of other medicines, including the ones for HIV-1 and may cause serious side effects.
Your doctor may change your other medicines or change their doses. Other medicines,
including herbal products may affect TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL/EMTRICITABINE/EFAVIRENZ
VIATRIS 300/200/600.
For this reason, it is very important to let your doctor or pharmacist know what medications,
herbal supplements, or vitamins you are taking.
