Durataf Tablet 30 contains tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Prodrug conversion: Tenofovir alafenamide is a prodrug that transforms into tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) once inside the cells, which is the active form that fights the virus.
• Viral polymerase inhibition: It inhibits the viral DNA polymerase enzyme by competing with natural substances needed for viral DNA creation, effectively preventing the virus from multiplying.
• DNA chain termination: After being incorporated into viral DNA, it causes DNA chain termination, which stops the formation of new viruses in your body.
• Viral replication prevention: By blocking key steps in the virus life cycle, it prevents hepatitis B virus from making copies of itself, reducing the amount of virus in your body.

• Maintain a liver-friendly diet by avoiding alcohol and limiting foods high in fat, which can put extra strain on your liver while managing hepatitis B infection.
