Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil
Dosing in kidney impairment
Dosage Adjustment in Individuals with Renal Impairment Treatment of HIV-1 Infection Table 2 provides dosage interval adjustment for patients with renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is necessary for HIV-1 infected patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50 to 80 mL/min). The safety and effectiveness of the dosing interval adjustment recommendations in patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30 to 49 mL/min) have not been clinically evaluated; therefore, clinical response to treatment and renal function should be closely monitored in these patients [see Warnings and Precautions] .
No data are available to make dosage recommendations in pediatric patients with renal impairment. Table 2 Dosage Interval Adjustment for HIV-1 Infected Adult Patients with Altered Creatinine Clearance [See table below.] a. Calculated using ideal (lean) body weight HIV-1 PrEP Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets for HIV-1 PrEP are not recommended in HIV-1 uninfected individuals with estimated creatinine clearance below 60 mL/min [see Warnings and Precautions].
If a decrease in estimated creatinine clearance is observed in uninfected individuals while using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets for HIV-1 PrEP, evaluate potential causes and re-assess potential risks and benefits of continued use [see Warnings and Precautions] .
