(1) • Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. (1) 1.1 HIV-1 Infection Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older. The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets for the treatment of HIV-1 infection: • Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets should not be used in combination with ATRIPLA ® , BIKTARVY ® , COMPLERA ® , DESCOVY ® , GENVOYA ® , ODEFSEY ® , STRIBILD ® , TRUVADA ® , or VEMLIDY ® [See Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. 1.2 Chronic Hepatitis B Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection: • The indication in adults is based on safety and efficacy data from treatment of subjects who were nucleoside-treatment-naïve and subjects who were treatment-experienced with documented resistance to lamivudine. Subjects were adults with HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B with compensated liver disease [See Clinical Studies (14.2)]. • Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets were evaluated in a limited number of subjects with chronic hepatitis B and decompensated liver disease [See Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Studies (14.2)]. • The numbers of subjects in clinical trials who had adefovir resistance-associated substitutions at baseline were too small to reach conclusions of efficacy [See Microbiology (12.4), Clinical Studies ( 14.2)].
