TenoHep is an antiviral medication used primarily for the treatment of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Its active ingredient is Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF), a potent nucleotide analog that suppresses viral replication. TenoHep is available as an oral tablet, typically taken once daily, and helps prevent liver damage caused by chronic hepatitis B.

Mechanism of Action

• Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI).

• It is incorporated into viral DNA during replication, causing premature chain termination.

• By blocking the reverse transcriptase enzyme, it prevents hepatitis B virus from multiplying, reducing viral load and protecting the liver.

  Uses

  • Treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults and adolescents.

  • Helps reduce viral load and slow progression of liver disease.

  • May be used in patients with compromised liver function to prevent cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Adverse Effects

    • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea

    • Headache or dizziness

    • Fatigue or weakness

    • Abdominal pain
