1. What is Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan and what is it used for

Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan contains two active substances,emtricitabinaand tenofovir

disoproxil. Both active substances are antiretroviralmedicines that are used for the
treatment of HIV infection. Emtricitabina is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor
and tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. However, they are generically
known as NRTIs and act by interfering with the normal activity of an enzyme (reverse transcriptase)
which is essential for the virus to reproduce.

• Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan is used to treat infection with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) in adults
• It is also used to treat HIV in adolescents aged 12 years and older with a weight of at least 35 kgwho have already been treated with other HIV medicines that are no longer effective or have caused side effects.
• Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan must always be used in combination with other medicines for the treatment of HIV infection.
• Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan can be administered as a replacement for emtricitabina and tenofovir disoproxil used separately at the same doses.

This medicine is not a cure for HIV infection. While you are taking Emtricitabina/Tenofovir
disoproxil Mylan you may still develop infections or other diseases associated with HIV
infection.

• Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan is also used to reduce the risk of contracting HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with a weight of at least 35 kg,when used as daily treatment together with safe sex practices: For a list of precautions to take against HIV infection see paragraph 2.

2. What you need to know before taking Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan

Do not take Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan to treat HIV infection or to
reduce the risk of contracting HIV if you are allergicto emtricitabina, tenofovir, tenofovir disoproxil or
to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If this applies to you, tell your doctor immediately.
Before taking Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan to reduce the risk of contracting
HIV:
This medicine can only help to reduce the risk of contracting an HIV infection before
being infected.

• You must be HIV negative before starting to take this medicine to reduce therisk of contracting HIV.You will need to be tested to make sure you do not yet have an HIV infection. Do not take this medicine to reduce the risk unless it has been confirmed that you are HIV negative. People with HIV infection must take this medicine in combination with other medicines.
• Many HIV tests may not detect a recent infection.If you experience flu-like symptoms, it could mean that you have recently contracted HIV. The following can be signs of HIV infection:
• fatigue
• fever
• joint or muscle pain
• headache
• vomiting or diarrhea
• rash
• night sweats
• swollen lymph nodes in the neck or groin
• Tell your doctor about any flu-like illness -both in the month before taking this medicine and at any time during its intake.

Warnings and precautions
While takingEmtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan to reduce the risk of contracting
HIV:

• Take this medicine every day to reduce your risk, not just when you think youhave been at risk of HIV infection.Do not miss any dose of Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan, nor interrupt the intake of this medicine. Missed doses can increase the risk of contracting HIV infection.
• Get tested for HIV regularly.
• If you believe you have contracted an HIV infection, tell your doctor immediately, who may ask you to undergo further tests to verify that you are still HIV negative.
• Taking Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan alone may not prevent you fromcontracting HIV.
• Always practice safe sex. Use a condom to reduce contact with semen, vaginal fluids, or blood.
• Do not share personal items that may have traces of blood or body fluids, such as toothbrushes or razors.
• Do not share or reuse needles or other injection or medication devices.
• Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis and gonorrhea. These infections make you more susceptible to contracting HIV.

Talk to your doctor if you have any other questions about how to avoid contracting HIV or
transmitting HIV to others.

While taking Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan to treat HIV infection or to
reduce the risk of contracting HIV infection:

• Emtricitabina/tenofovir disoproxil may have effects on the kidneys.Before and during treatment, your doctor may prescribe blood tests to measure proper kidney function. Tell your doctor if you have had kidney disease, or if the tests have shown kidney problems. This medicine should not be administered to adolescents who suffer from kidney problems. If you have kidney problems, your doctor may advise you to stop taking emtricitabina/tenofovir disoproxil or if you already have an HIV infection, your doctor may suggest you take emtricitabina/tenofovir disoproxil less frequently. Emtricitabina/tenofovir disoproxil is not recommended if you suffer from a severe kidney disease or are undergoing dialysis.
• Bone problems(which manifest as persistent or worsening bone pain and sometimes resulting in fractures) can also occur due to damage to the cells of the renal tubules (see section 4, Possible side effects). Tell your doctor if you have bone pain or fractures.

Tenofovir disoproxil can also cause loss of bone mass. The most
pronounced loss of bone mass was observed in clinical studies in which patients were treated for HIV
with tenofovir disoproxil in association with a boosted protease inhibitor.
In general, the effects of tenofovir disoproxil on long-term bone health and the future risk of
fractures in adult and pediatric patients are uncertain.
Tell your doctor if you suffer from osteoporosis. Patients with osteoporosis are at higher risk
of fractures.

• Tell your doctor if you have had liver problems in the past, including hepatitis.Patients infected with HIV with also liver problems (including chronic hepatitis B or C), treated with antiretrovirals, have a higher risk of serious liver complications and that can lead to death. If you have hepatitis B or C, your doctor will carefully evaluate the best treatment regimen for you.
• Find out about your status of infection by the hepatitis B virus (HBV)before starting to take Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan. If you have an HBV infection, there is a serious risk of liver problems when you stop taking emtricitabina/tenofovir disoproxil, regardless of whether you also have an HIV infection. It is important that you do not stop taking emtricitabina/tenofovir disoproxil without talking to your doctor: see section 3, Do not stop treatment with Emtricitabina/Tenofovirdisoproxil Mylan.
• Tell your doctor if you are over 65 years of age.Emtricitabina/tenofovir disoproxil has not been studied in patients over 65 years of age.
• Tell your doctor if you are lactose intolerant(see Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan contains lactose further on in this paragraph).

Children and adolescents
Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan is not indicated in children under 12 years of age.

Other medicines and Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan
Do not take Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylanif you are already taking other medicines that
contain the components of this medicine (i.e., emtricitabina and tenofovir disoproxil) or any
other antiviral medicine that contains tenofovir alafenamide, lamivudine or adefovir dipivoxil.

Taking Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylan with othermedicines that can
damage the kidneys:it is particularly important to tell your doctor if you are taking any of
these medicines, including

• aminoglycosides (for bacterial infection)
• amphotericin B (for fungal infection)
• foscarnet (for viral infection)
• ganciclovir (for viral infection)
• pentamidine (for infections)
• vancomycin (for bacterial infection)
• interleukin-2 (to treat cancer)
• cidofovir (for viral infection)
• non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, used to relieve bone or muscle pain)

If you are taking another antiviral medicine called a protease inhibitor to treat HIV,
your doctor may prescribe blood tests to better monitor your kidney function.

It is also important to warn your doctorif you are taking ledipasvir/sofosbuvir,
sofosbuvir/velpatasvir or sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir to treat a hepatitis C infection.

Taking Emtricitabina/Tenofovir disoproxil Mylanwith other medicines that contain
didanosine (for the treatment of HIV infection):Taking emtricitabina/tenofovir
disoproxil with other antiviral medicines that contain didanosine may increase the level of
didanosine in the blood and may reduce the CD4 cell count. Rarely, cases of inflammation
of the pancreas and lactic acidosis (excess lactic acid in the blood) have been reported when medicines containing tenofovir
disoproxil and didanosine have been taken together. Your doctor will need to carefully consider whether to treat you with tenofovir and didanosine in combination.

• Tell your doctorif you are taking any of these medicines. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

• If you notice any of these symptoms, see your doctor.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

Possible serious side effects:

• Lactic acidosis(excess lactic acid in the blood) is a rare but potentially fatal side effect. Lactic acidosis occurs more often in women, especially if overweight, and in people with liver disease. The following may be signs of lactic acidosis:
• shortness of breath
• sleepiness
• feeling sick, vomiting
• stomach pain
• If you think you have lactic acidosis, seek medical attention immediately.
• Any sign of inflammation or infection.In some patients with advanced HIV infection (AIDS) and a history of opportunistic infections (infections that occur in people with a weakened immune system), signs and symptoms of inflammation due to previous infections may occur shortly after starting anti-HIV treatment. These symptoms are believed to be due to an improvement in the body's immune response, which allows the body to fight infections that may have been present without obvious symptoms.
• Autoimmune disorders, in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue in the body, can also occur after starting to take medicines to treat HIV infection. Autoimmune disorders can occur many months after starting treatment. Look for any symptoms of infection or other symptoms such as:
• muscle weakness
• weakness starting in the hands and feet and rising towards the trunk
• palpitations, tremor or hyperactivity

If you notice these or other symptoms of inflammation or infection, seek immediate medical attention.
Possible side effects:
Very common side effects

• inflammation of the kidneys, abundant urine and thirst, kidney failure, damage to the kidney tubule cells
• softening of the bones (with bone pain and sometimes fractures)
• back pain caused by kidney problems

Damage to the kidney tubule cells may be associated with muscle breakdown, softening of the bones (with bone pain and sometimes fractures), muscle pain, muscle weakness, and decreased potassium or phosphate in the blood.

• If you notice any of the side effects listed above or if any of them becomes serious,tell your doctor or pharmacist.

The frequency of the following side effects is not known.

• Bone problems.Some patients taking combination antiretroviral medicines such as emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil may develop a bone disease called osteonecrosis(bone death caused by loss of blood supply to the bone). Long-term use of this type of medicine, taking corticosteroids, alcohol, a very weak immune system and being overweight may be some of the many risk factors for developing this disease. Signs of osteonecrosis are:
• joint stiffness
• joint pain (especially in the hip, knee and shoulder)
• difficulty moving
• If you notice any of these symptoms, tell your doctor.

During HIV treatment, weight and levels of lipids and glucose in the blood may increase. This is partly related to the restoration of health and lifestyle and, in the case of blood lipids, sometimes to the HIV medicines themselves. Your doctor will check for these changes.
