Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Your doctor may prescribe Descovy to suppress the infection caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV is a chronic infection that slowly attacks the immune system, slowly leading to potentially fatal infections. HIV can be appropriately suppressed with the long-term use of antiviral agents.
Descovy contains two different medications that work by preventing HIV viruses from replicating. Stopping replication gives the immune system a chance to manage the infection and prevent symptoms.
Take Descovy once daily, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food.
Missing dosages can increase the risk of developing resistant strains of the virus, making Descovy less effective.
The active ingredients are tenofovir 200 mg and emtricitabine 25 mg.
Descovy has many potential interactions with other medications. It can also react to over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, herbals, and supplements. Use caution if you are taking any of the following:
Tell your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver problems before taking this medication.
When starting Descovy, some patients are at risk of developing immune reconstitution syndrome. This occurs before the immune system suddenly becomes more active once treatment starts. Symptoms may include fever, lymphadenopathy, and worsening existing infections.
Tell your doctor if you have a history of lactic acidosis before starting Descovy.
Descovy side effects may include the following:
