What Is in Tenof 300 mg Tablet?
Tenof 300 mg tablet is manufactured by Hetero. Each tablet holds 300 mg of Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, an antiviral drug used against long-term hepatitis B infection. It belongs to a drug class called nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Doctors use the same class of drugs to treat HIV too. Tenof 300 mg tablet is mainly used for adults whose blood tests show the hepatitis B virus is still active in the liver.
How Tenof 300 mg Tablet Works in the Body
The hepatitis B virus makes copies of its own DNA inside liver cells to keep spreading. Once absorbed, the body turns Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate into its active form. This active form blocks the enzyme the virus depends on to build new DNA copies. Without new copies, the virus cannot spread to fresh liver cells. This gives the liver room to recover.

Who Should Not Take This Tablet?
- People with existing kidney disease should tell their doctor before starting. The kidneys clear this drug from the body.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only take it if their doctor confirms it is safe for their situation.
- Anyone already taking other drugs that affect the kidneys, including certain painkillers, should mention this before starting.
- Children should not be given this tablet without a doctor’s specific advice.
Doctors treating hepatitis B usually order kidney function tests before and during treatment. This is a standard check, not a warning sign.
