Atripla (efavirenz emtricitabine tenofovir disoproxil): Reviews and patient testimonials

Atripla 600 mg/200 mg/245 mg film coated tablets

Atripla is a fixed-dose combination of efavirenz, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. It is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection in adults aged 18 years and over with virologic suppression to HIV-1 RNA levels of < 50 copies/ml on their current combination antiretroviral therapy for more than three months. Patients must not have experienced virological failure on any prior antiretroviral therapy and must be known not to have harboured virus strains with mutations conferring significant resistance to any of the three components contained in Atripla prior to initiation of their first antiretroviral treatment regimen (see sections 4.4 and 5.1).

The demonstration of the benefit of Atripla is primarily based on 48-week data from a clinical study in which patients with stable virologic suppression on a combination antiretroviral therapy changed to Atripla. No data are currently available from clinical studies with Atripla in treatment-naïve or in heavily pretreated patients.

No data are available to support the combination of Atripla and other antiretroviral agents.
