What it is used for
Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg:
as initial therapy in those with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy or
to replace a stable antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 6 months with no treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Limitations of Use:
More rilpivirine-treated subjects with HIV-1 RNA greater than 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy experienced virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL) compared to rilpivirine-treated subjects with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL. Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, a combination of two nucleoside analog HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) and one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (rilpivirine), is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in patients weighing at least 35 kg as initial therapy in those with no antiretroviral treatment history and with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy, or or to replace a stable antiretroviral regiment in those who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 6 months with no treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Limitations of Use:
More rilpivirine-treated subjects with HIV-1 RNA greater than 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy experienced virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL) compared to rilpivirine-treated subjects with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL.

Description
Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are a fixed-dose combination tablet containing FTC, rilpivirine hydrochloride, and TDF. Emtricitabine, USP (FTC) is a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine. Rilpivirine (RPV) is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is converted in vivo to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5′-monophosphate. Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are for oral administration. Each tablet contains 200 mg of FTC, 27.5 mg of rilpivirine hydrochloride (equivalent to 25 mg of RPV), and 300 mg of TDF (equivalent to 245 mg of tenofovir disoproxil) as active ingredients. The tablets include the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polysorbate 20, povidone K30. The tablets are film coated with a coating material containing polyethylene glycol 3350, polyvinyl alcohol, talc and titanium dioxide. Emtricitabine, USP: The chemical name of FTC is 5-Fluoro-1-[(2 R,5 S )-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl]cytosine. Emtricitabine, USP is the (-) enantiomer of a thio analog of cytidine, which differs from other cytidine analogs in that it has a fluorine in the 5-position. It has a molecular formula of C 8 H 10 FN 3 O 3 S and a molecular weight of 247.30. It has the following structural formula: FTC is a white to almost white crystalline powder. Freely soluble in methanol and water, practically insoluble in dichloromethane. Rilpivirine: RPV is available as the hydrochloride salt. The chemical name for rilpivirine hydrochloride is 4-[[4-[[4-[(E)-2-cyanoethenyl]-2,6-dimethylphenyl]amino]-2- pyrimidinyl]amino]benzonitrile monohydrochloride. Its molecular formula is C 22 H 18 N 6
HCl and its molecular weight is 402.88. Rilpivirine hydrochloride has the following structural formula: Rilpivirine hydrochloride is a white to off white solid. Rilpivirine hydrochloride is sparingly soluble in dimethylformamide and practically insoluble in water. Tenofovir DF: TDF is a fumaric acid salt of the bis-isopropoxycarbonyloxymethyl ester derivative of tenofovir. The chemical name of TDF is 9-[(R)-2 [[bis[[(isopropoxycarbonyl)oxy]- methoxy]phosphinyl]methoxy]propyl]adenine fumarate (1:1). 9-[(R)-2- [[Bis(isopropoxycarbonyl)oxy]methoxy] phosphinyl] methoxy]propyl]adenine Fumarate (1:1). It has a molecular formula of C 19 H 30 N 5 O 10 P*C 4 H 4 O 4 and a molecular weight of 635.52. It has the following structural formula: TDF is a white to off-white powder. Freely soluble in Dimethylformamide and soluble in methanol. All dosages are expressed in terms of TDF except where otherwise noted. ertdf-emt-structure.jpg ertdf-ril-structure.jpg ertdf-teno-structure.jpg
