Tafnat 25mg Bottle Of 30 Tablets
Description
Tafnat tablet is an antiviral medication used to treat chronic hepatitis B infection in adults with liver disease. It contains tenofovir alafenamide as its active ingredient, which works by reducing the multiplication of the hepatitis B virus in the body. By lowering the virus levels, it helps control the infection, protect the liver, and prevent further complications.
This medication is prescribed only under medical supervision and should not be taken without a doctor’s advice. Tafnat tablet is intended for patients aged 18 years and above. Your doctor will determine the correct dose and duration based on your health condition and liver function. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed for optimal results.
You should not stop taking Tafnat tablets suddenly, even if you start feeling better. Skipping doses or stopping treatment on your own can cause the virus to become resistant and may worsen liver disease. Always complete the full course as recommended by your doctor.
Tafnat tablets are generally taken once daily, with or without food. To gain the maximum benefit, take it at the same time every day. If you accidentally miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never take two doses together.
Before starting Tafnat, inform your doctor about any other medicines, supplements, or health problems you may have. This medication should be used with caution in people with kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should take it only if prescribed. Regular monitoring of your liver and kidney function may be required during treatment.
