💊 Vonaday (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate + Lamivudine + Efavirenz Tablets)

📌 What Is Vonaday?

• Vonaday is a fixed-dose combination antiretroviral medicine used for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

• It contains three active ingredients:

  • Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) – a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI).

  • Lamivudine (3TC) – a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI).

  • Efavirenz (EFV) – a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).

• Together, they suppress viral replication, reduce viral load, and improve immune function.

💊 Pharmacological Action

🔹 Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF)

• Class: Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NtRTI).

• Action: Converted into tenofovir diphosphate inside cells → competes with natural nucleotides → blocks reverse transcriptase enzyme → prevents viral DNA formation.

• Effect: Stops HIV replication.

🔹 Lamivudine (3TC)

• Class: Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI).

• Action: Gets incorporated into viral DNA → causes chain termination.

• Effect: Inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase and reduces viral load.

🔹 Efavirenz (EFV)

• Class: Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI).

• Action: Directly binds to reverse transcriptase enzyme at a different site → blocks its activity.

• Effect: Prevents HIV replication and reduces viral resistance.

🩺 How To Take Vonaday?

• Usually taken once daily at bedtime (to reduce dizziness and drowsiness).

• Must be swallowed whole with water.

• Always used as part of combination ART regimen under medical supervision.
