What is Tafero 25mg Tablet?
Tafero 25mg Tablet contains tenofovir alafenamide, at a strength of 25 mg. It comes as a tablet, meant to be swallowed whole. This medicine belongs to a drug class called antivirals. It works against a virus, not bacteria. Doctors use this medication in patients with HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) infection.
Who is Tafero 25mg Tablet 30s used for?
Doctors prescribe this tablet for adults with long-term hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis B is a virus that attacks the liver. It can stay in the body for years if not treated. People with this infection often need ongoing treatment to keep the virus under control and protect the liver from damage.
This medicine is not for children under 18, unless a liver specialist decides otherwise based on the case.
How does tenofovir alafenamide work in the body?
Tenofovir alafenamide stops the hepatitis B virus from copying itself inside liver cells. Once the virus can’t make new copies, it can’t spread further through the liver. Over time, this brings down the amount of virus in your blood and lowers the strain on your liver.
The tablet is made so more of the drug reaches the liver directly. That’s why the dose here is lower than in older tenofovir tablets.
