How Does It Work?

Tenofovir and Lamivudine are nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). They block the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is needed by hepatitis B virus and HIV to copy their genetic material. By stopping this process, they prevent viral replication, reduce viral load, and help control the infection.
