Emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir, sold under the brand name Complera among others, is a fixed-dose combination of antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. [4] The drug was co-developed by Gilead Sciences and Johnson & Johnson's Tibotec division and was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in August 2011, and by the European Medicines Agency in November 2011, [3] [5] for patients who have not previously been treated for HIV. [6] It is available as a once-a-day single tablet.
In the European Union it is marketed as Eviplera and in the US as Complera. [7]
Emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir is indicated for treatment of HIV-1 in adults naïve to HIV-1 medications (where the virus has not developed resistance to these anti-HIV medications) and who have no more than 100,000 copies per mL of HIV-1 RNA in their blood (“ viral load”). [8] [9]
Contraindications
Use of emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir with the following medicines is contraindicated, as they lead to reduced blood levels of rilpivirine and in turn reduce the effectiveness of emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir: [8] [11]
