Vemlidy (Tenofovir)

Vemlidy (Tenofovir Alafenamide) Medicine Information:

Uses of Vemlidy:

• It is an antiviral medication.
• It is a medicine that is used to treat chronic hepatitis B infection, a liver virus. It works by delaying or preventing the virus's proliferation. Chronic hepatitis can cause major liver damage (cirrhosis) as well as liver cancer. It's unclear whether Vemlidy can cure hepatitis B or prevent it from spreading to others.
• To reduce the danger of spreading the virus to others, engage in "safer intercourse" (such as the use of latex condoms).
• Vemlidy is not proven to be safe or effective in children under the age of 18.
