It's important that you take TRUVADA exactly as your healthcare provider prescribed it. Do not change your dose or stop taking TRUVADA without first talking with your healthcare provider. The usual dose of TRUVADA is one tablet once a day. TRUVADA is always used together with other HIV-1 medicines to help treat HIV-1. If you have kidney problems, you may need to take TRUVADA less often. There are three important things you should remember about taking TRUVADA.
Take as prescribed by your healthcare provider
Take TRUVADA at the same time each day
Take with or without food
Do not run out of TRUVADA. Refill your prescription or talk to your healthcare provider before your TRUVADA is gone. 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.

TRUVADA is a prescription medicine that is used to treat HIV-1 infection in people who weigh at least 35 kg (77 pounds). Because TRUVADA by itself is not a complete treatment for HIV-1, it must be used together with other HIV-1 medicines.
TRUVADA does not cure HIV-1 infection or AIDS. HIV-1 is the virus that causes AIDS.
