What is Descovy?

Descovy (emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) is used to treat HIV and help lower the risk of getting HIV.

Descovy is used with other HIV drugs to treat adults and children who weigh at least 35 kilograms, or around 77 pounds.

For younger children who weigh between 14 and 35 kilograms (about 31 to 77 pounds), Descovy is used with specific HIV drugs that do not belong to a group called protease inhibitors.

Another approved use for Descovy is HIV prevention, which is also called PrEP (short for pre-exposure prophylaxis). This means taking Descovy before being exposed to HIV to lower the chance of getting it.

Descovy for PrEP is for adults and teens who weigh at least 35 kilograms and are at risk of getting HIV through sexual contact.

However, Descovy is not approved for use by people assigned female at birth who are at risk from vaginal sex, because studies have not confirmed its effectiveness for that group.

How Does Descovy Work?

Descovy helps treat and prevent HIV. It is approved for adults and certain children to manage HIV and to lower the risk of getting HIV through PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis).

PrEP is a way to stop HIV before it enters and spreads in the body.

HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, which protects your body from infections. It mainly targets CD4 cells, which help your body fight germs. If HIV is not treated, it can lower the number of CD4 cells.

This weakens the immune system and can lead to serious infections.

Descovy works by stopping HIV from making more copies of itself. It contains two drugs that block a special protein HIV needs to multiply. If the virus cannot copy itself, it cannot spread in the body. This helps lower the amount of virus in the blood and gives the immune system a chance to get stronger.

For people who already have HIV, Descovy helps reduce the virus so much that it may not even be found in blood tests. For people taking Descovy to prevent HIV, the medication helps stop the virus from starting an infection at all.

Descovy starts working in the body within hours after the first dose. If you use it for PrEP, you should take it for at least 7 days to get the best protection. For HIV treatment, it may take weeks or months for your immune system to improve and for your virus levels to go down.

Descovy Dosage and Administration

Doctors prescribe Descovy as an oral tablet; patients take it exactly as directed.

The Descovy dosage depends on your age, weight, kidney function, and the condition being treated. It is important to take Descovy once daily at the same time.

Do not miss doses, as this can reduce the medication’s effectiveness. Descovy can be taken with or without food.

Dosage Form and Strengths of Descovy

Descovy comes in two tablet strengths. Each tablet contains a fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF):

• 200 mg FTC / 25 mg TAF
• 120 mg FTC / 15 mg TAF

How to Take Descovy?

1. Take Descovy once per day as your doctor has directed.
2. Swallow the tablet whole with or without food.
3. Try to take it at the same time every day to keep a steady level of medication in your body.
4. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take two doses at once.
5. Use a phone alarm or medication timer to help you remember daily doses.
