Tenohep is used to treat in patients suffering chronic hepatitis B and decompensated liver diseases In adult and children 12yrs and >12yrs the drug Tenohep is indicated for the treatment with combination of other antiretroviral agent to treat HIV-1 infection.
DESCRIPTION
Tenofovir is sold under the trade name Tenohep and belongs to anticancer drugs, it is a medication used for treatment of chronic hepatitis B and to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. Tenohep show activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
The drug require for the use with other antiretrovirals. Tenohep is a prescription drugs given under supervision of doctor or pharmacist.
INDICATION
In adult Tenohep is used to treat in patients suffering chronic hepatitis B and decompensated liver diseases In adult and children 12yrs and >12yrs the drug Tenohep is indicated for the treatment with combination of other antiretroviral agent to treat HIV-1 infection.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
When patient cell attack with HIV, then the HIV virus will take the cell under control of, then the virus grow repeated copies in the cell. For this process the virus needed an enzyme. When the activity of those enzymes is reduces the multiplication of HIV slows down. Tenohep is nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). These inhibitor blocks the action of an HIV enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, in which the protein (enzyme) raises the speed of a chemical reaction. NRTIs interferes HIV from proliferation and reduces the amount of HIV in the body by stopping reverse transcriptase.
ADME
ABSORPTION
Rapid absorbed from GI tract, bioavailability (25%) The time to peak plasma concentration of Tenohep is 1-2hrs.
DISTRIBUTION
the drug bounding of human serum protein is >1% and it is widely distributed into body tissue especially in kidney and liver ( volume of distribution is 1.2-1.3L/kg).
METABOLISM
TenofovirDisoproxil Fumarate is converted into Tenohep through hydrolysis by cellular enzyme through phosphorylation. and to form active Tenohep diphosphate . ELIMINATION: By active tubular secretion and glomerular Tenohep excreted via urine. Half life of Tenohep is 18hr.
DOSAGE MANAGEMENT
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
In adult 12yrs and older: 300mg If patient not able to shallow take oral powder formulation of 7.5 scoops In pediatric 2yrs and <12yrs : 8 mg recommended dose.

Renal function and serum phosphate concentrations prior to therapy, 4 wkly in 1st wk, and then 3 mthly; hepatic function for several month following discontinuation. Determine HIV condition in all hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected patients before treatment. Allergy to Tenohep or any other drug.Before inform with doctor about allergic to any drugs.

DRUG INTERACTION
When Tenohep interaction with didanosine and HIV-1 protease inhibitors then increase didanosine concentration and results in adverse effects like pancreatitis and neuropathy Interaction with HIV-1 protease inhibitors such as atazanavir will reduces atazanavir concentration while increase the Tenohep concentrations
PREGNANCY
Category B : Animal studies have shown an adverse effect in fetus, so sufficient and well-developed studies in pregnant women have failed give detail about a risk to the fetus in all trimester.
