Treatment Summary
Efavirenz (brand names Sustiva® and Stocrin®) is a medication used to treat HIV-1. When used in combination with other antiretroviral medications, it can reduce the risk of HIV transmission from high-risk exposures. It is usually combined with lamivudine and either zidovudine or tenofovir for HIV infection that has not previously been treated. Efavirenz is part of a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen for HIV treatment.

Effectiveness
How Atripla Affects Patients
Efavirenz is a type of medicine used to treat HIV infections. It is usually taken as part of a three-drug regimen that includes another type of HIV medication, such as lamivudine, stavudine or zidovudine, and a protease inhibitor. It was originally approved for use in patients who had not responded to treatment with zidovudine.
How Atripla works in the body
Efavirenz works to stop HIV from reproducing by stopping an enzyme called reverse transcriptase from copying viral RNA. This stops the virus from making new copies of itself. Though human DNA polymerase is less likely to be affected by efavirenz, this may still be a cause of some of the drug's side effects.

This product contains 3 different medications: efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir. These medications are used to help control HIV infection. They work by decreasing the amount of HIV in the body, which helps the immune system to work better. This in turn lowers the person's chance of developing HIV complications, and increases their life span."
