Drug interactions

Emtricitabine (Emtriva) is excreted via the kidneys. With the exception of famciclovir (Famvir) and tenofovir (Viread), interactions between emtricitabine and other drugs that are excreted by the kidneys or that affect kidney function have not been assessed. There is no significant interaction between emtricitabine and famciclovir or tenofovir.

Emtricitabine has a low potential for interaction with other drugs, and does not inhibit metabolism by the cytochrome P450 system.

Community Consensus Statement on Access to HIV Treatment and its Use for Prevention

Together, we can make it happen

We can end HIV soon if people have equal access to HIV drugs as treatment and as PrEP, and have free choice over whether to take them.

Launched today, the Community Consensus Statement is a basic set of principles aimed at making sure that happens.

The Community Consensus Statement is a joint initiative of AVAC, EATG, MSMGF, GNP+, HIV i-Base, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, ITPC and NAM/aidsmap
