How Should I Take Truvada?

Take Truvada exactly as your healthcare provider prescribed it. Follow the directions from your healthcare provider, exactly as written on the label.

The usual dose of Truvada is one tablet once a day. Truvada is always used with other anti-HIV medicines. If you have kidney problems, you may need to take Truvada less often.

Truvada may be taken with or without a meal. Food does not affect how Truvada works. Take Truvada at the same time each day.

If you forget to take Truvada, take it as soon as you remember that day. Do not take more than one dose of Truvada in a day. Do not take two doses at the same time. Call your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are not sure what to do. It is important that you do not miss any doses of Truvada or your anti-HIV medicines.

When your Truvada supply starts to run low, get more from your healthcare provider or pharmacy right away. This is very important because the amount of virus in your blood may increase if the medicine is stopped for even a short time. The virus may develop resistance to Truvada and become harder to treat.

Do not change your dose or stop taking Truvada without first talking with your healthcare provider. Stay under a healthcare provider's care when taking Truvada.

If you take too much Truvada, call your local poison control center or emergency room right away.

Patients should read the Patient Information, including "What is the most important information I should know about Truvada?". It is important that you discuss your treatment options and any questions that you may have with your healthcare provider.
