Tavin EM® Tablets for HIV Prevention

Tavin EM is a fixed-dose tablet that combines emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. You can access Tavin EM® without insurance with US delivery from Canada. This page explains how it works, who it suits, safety points, and how you can store and use it on the go.

What Tavin EM Is and How It Works

Border Free Health connects U.S. patients with licensed Canadian partner pharmacies; prescriptions are verified with prescribers before dispensing. This coformulation belongs to the nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor class. It helps prevent HIV when used as directed for pre-exposure prophylaxis and supports HIV treatment when combined with other antiretrovirals. Hiv care often includes routine testing, adherence support, and follow-up.

Emtricitabine tenofovir 200 mg/300 mg tablets block reverse transcriptase, an enzyme HIV needs to copy itself. By limiting viral replication, the treatment helps reduce the chance of infection and supports suppression when taken with a full regimen for those already living with HIV. You should continue safer sex practices, since this medicine does not protect against other infections.

Who It’s For

This medicine is used for adults and adolescents who test negative for HIV and are at ongoing risk through sex or injection exposure. It is also used as part of a complete regimen for people with HIV, under a prescriber’s direction. Emtricitabine/tenofovir for PrEP requires documented HIV-negative status before starting and at regular intervals. People with significant kidney problems, untreated bone disease, or known hypersensitivity should discuss other options. Those with hepatitis B can have flares if the therapy is stopped; medical supervision is essential.

National screening efforts encourage regular testing for those at risk; see our overview in Hiv Testing Day.

Dosage and Usage

For PrEP, prescribers typically direct one tablet by mouth once daily, with or without food. Start only after a recent HIV test confirms a negative result. Continue follow-up testing, kidney checks, and adherence counseling per guidelines. People on HIV treatment take the tablet as part of a complete regimen selected by their clinician.

Tavin EM for PrEP tablets work best when taken consistently around the same time each day. Swallow whole with water. If you vomit within a short period after taking a dose, ask your healthcare professional whether to redose based on the timing and your plan. Always follow the official label and your prescriber’s advice if instructions differ.

Strengths and Forms

This product is supplied as film-coated oral tablets. Availability may vary by manufacturer and pack size.

• Tavin EM 30 tablets pack is commonly dispensed for a monthly supply
• Each tablet combines emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate at 200 mg/300 mg

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember that day. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule. Do not double up. Keep a simple routine, such as pairing the tablet with a daily task, to help avoid lapses.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets at room temperature in the original container with the cap tightly closed. Keep away from excess moisture and direct heat. Protect from light and out of reach of children and pets. Do not use tablets that look damaged or have changed appearance.

For travel, pack your medicine in your carry-on with a copy of your prescription. Keep it in the labeled bottle to speed security checks. If crossing borders, plan extra time for screening and carry contact details for your prescriber. Use a reminder app or set calendar alerts to stay on schedule across time zones. Most tablets are shelf-stable; pharmacies use temperature-controlled handling when required.

Pen Handling and Sharps Disposal

Benefits

Daily oral prevention provides a simple, once-daily approach for people at risk of HIV through sex or injection exposure. As a coformulated tablet, the therapy reduces pill burden and simplifies routines. When used as directed and combined with regular testing and safer sex practices, the regimen can support strong protection. For those on treatment, combining this backbone with other agents helps maintain an effective plan selected by a clinician.

Side Effects and Safety

• Common: nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhea
• Common: headache, fatigue, dizziness
• Occasional: mild rash, sleep changes

Serious risks are uncommon but can include kidney problems, decreased bone mineral density, severe liver issues, or lactic acidosis. People with hepatitis B may experience flares if the medicine is stopped. Seek urgent care for symptoms like severe abdominal pain, chest pain, fainting, yellowing skin or eyes, or swelling of face, lips, or throat. Discuss plans for pregnancy or breastfeeding with your prescriber.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Certain medicines can affect levels of this therapy, including potent P-gp inducers or inhibitors. Drugs that may harm the kidneys, such as high-dose or multiple nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, can raise risk when combined. Always review over-the-counter products, supplements, and herbal agents with your healthcare professional. Limit alcohol if it worsens tolerance. Do not start or stop any medicine without guidance. Ongoing HIV testing is required before and during PrEP, along with periodic evaluations of kidney function and, when applicable, hepatitis B status.

What to Expect Over Time

Many people tolerate the regimen well after the first weeks. Mild stomach or headache symptoms may ease as your body adjusts. Consistent daily dosing is key for ongoing protection with PrEP. You will need scheduled HIV tests and regular follow-up. This medicine does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections, so barrier protection remains important. For those using it as part of treatment, your clinician will monitor labs and overall health to support long-term care.

Compare With Alternatives

Interested in long-acting prevention? Talk to your prescriber about injectable cabotegravir, dispensed as Apretude® Injectable Suspension. For individuals living with HIV who need an oral, once-daily regimen that includes other agents, a fixed-dose combination like Delstrigo® may be considered by a clinician. Your choice should reflect testing, kidney health, and overall risk profile.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Good candidates test HIV-negative before starting PrEP and return for regular testing. Those with stable kidney function and no significant bone disease are often appropriate, subject to prescriber review. If you live with hepatitis B, do not stop suddenly without guidance. For therapy users, your clinician will select companion agents to form a complete regimen.

To reduce out-of-pocket strain, consider multi-month fills when appropriate. Use refill reminders to prevent gaps. If you self-pay, check listed options and compare against Canadian rates shown here. Some travelers synchronize refills with scheduled visits. When comparing plans, include follow-up testing and lab fees in your overall budget.
