Treatment of HIV-1 Infection (2.1)
Recommended dose in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older and weighing greater than or equal to 35 kg): One tablet once daily taken orally with or without food. (2.1)
Recommended dose in renally impaired HIV-1 infected adult patients: Creatinine clearance 30–49 mL/min: 1 tablet every 48 hours. (2.3) CrCl below 30 mL/min or hemodialysis: Do not use TRUVADA. (2.3)
Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (2.2)
Recommended dose in HIV-1 uninfected adults: One tablet once daily taken orally with or without food. (2.2)
Recommended dose in renally impaired HIV-uninfected individuals: Do not use TRUVADA in HIV-uninfected individuals if CrCl is below 60 mL/min. If a decrease in CrCl is observed in uninfected individuals while using TRUVADA for PrEP, evaluate potential causes and re-assess potential risks and benefits of continued use. (2.3)
The recommended dose of TRUVADA in adults and in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with body weight greater than or equal to 35 kg (greater than or equal to 77 lb) is one tablet (containing 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) once daily taken orally with or without food.
The dose of TRUVADA in HIV-1 uninfected adults is one tablet (containing 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) once daily taken orally with or without food.
Treatment of HIV-1 infection
Significantly increased drug exposures occurred when EMTRIVA or VIREAD were administered to subjects with moderate to severe renal impairment [see EMTRIVA or VIREAD Package Insert]. Therefore, adjust the dosing interval of TRUVADA in HIV-1 infected adult patients with baseline creatinine clearance 30–49 mL/min using the recommendations in Table 1. These dosing interval recommendations are based on modeling of single-dose pharmacokinetic data in non-HIV infected subjects. The safety and effectiveness of these dosing interval adjustment recommendations have not been clinically evaluated in patients with moderate renal impairment, therefore clinical response to treatment and renal function should be closely monitored in these patients [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
No dose adjustment is necessary for HIV-1 infected patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50–80 mL/min). No data are available to make dose recommendations in pediatric patients with renal impairment.

Routine monitoring of calculated creatinine clearance and serum phosphorus should be performed in all individuals with mild renal impairment [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Pre-exposure Prophylaxis
Do not use TRUVADA for a PrEP indication in HIV-1 uninfected individuals with creatinine clearance below 60 mL/min [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Routine monitoring of calculated creatinine clearance and serum phosphorus should be performed in all individuals with mild renal impairment. If a decrease in creatinine clearance is observed in uninfected individuals while using TRUVADA for PrEP, evaluate potential causes and re-assess potential risks and benefits of continued use [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
