Truvada 舒发泰 Emtricitabine/Tenofovir 200mg/300mg | Gilead China Originator | GLT

Generic Information: Truvada 舒发泰 (China)

This listing is the China-market presentation of Truvada, Gilead's originator emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, marketed locally under the Chinese trade name 舒发泰 (Shufatai) and approved by the National Medical Products Administration. Each film-coated tablet combines 200 mg of emtricitabine with 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, thirty tablets per bottle, identical to the reference product sold in the United States and Europe.

What Is 舒发泰 (Truvada) Used For?

舒发泰 is prescribed for two distinct purposes. As treatment, it is combined with other antiretroviral medicines to control HIV-1 in adults and adolescents weighing at least 35 kg. As pre-exposure prophylaxis, it lowers the chance of getting HIV-1 through sex in people who are HIV-negative — the first medicine of its kind approved in China for this indication. Patients use the same tablet for either purpose, but prevention always begins with a confirmed negative test.

How Does 舒发泰 Work?

The two active ingredients attack HIV's reverse transcriptase from complementary angles. Emtricitabine, a cytidine analogue, and tenofovir, an adenosine analogue, are both converted inside cells into active forms that the viral enzyme mistakenly incorporates into new DNA, cutting the chain short and halting replication. Because the pair hits one essential enzyme through two different chemistries, it forms a reliable backbone that resists the virus's attempts to escape.

Indications

In China the approved indications mirror the global label: treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients of at least 35 kg, always in combination with other antiretrovirals, and pre-exposure prophylaxis to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV-1 in at-risk, HIV-negative adults and adolescents of at least 35 kg. It is not a stand-alone cure and does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections.

Dosage

One tablet is taken once daily, with or without food, for both treatment and prevention. Before starting PrEP the patient must have a documented negative HIV test, and retesting is performed on a regular schedule while the medicine is taken, because an undetected existing infection treated with PrEP alone can drive resistance. Kidney function is assessed before and during use, and dosing is adjusted or avoided in significant renal impairment.

Side Effects

The most common complaints are gastrointestinal — nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort — along with headache and tiredness, typically mild and self-limiting. The two long-term safety signals are reduced kidney function and decreased bone mineral density, both attributable mainly to tenofovir disoproxil, which is why monitoring is routine. A serious warning concerns hepatitis B: stopping the medicine in someone who also carries HBV can provoke a severe flare.

Storage

舒发泰 tablets are kept at room temperature in their original bottle, tightly closed, away from moisture and heat, with no need for cold storage. Ambient-condition shipping is therefore straightforward, and GLT dispatches from a Hong Kong-licensed facility with full batch documentation and a certificate of analysis.

Why Choose 舒发泰 Through GLT?

The China originator presentation gives importing pharmacies and hospital buyers a reference-standard product with NMPA provenance and full traceability. Because China is GLT's core supply base, this version is typically more accessible and competitively priced than the United States or European presentations, a meaningful advantage for programs that need the originator molecule at scale.
