Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in US labeling): Concomitant use with astemizole (not marketed in Canada), bepridil (not marketed in Canada), cisapride (not marketed in Canada), ergot derivatives (eg, dihydroergotamine, ergonovine, ergotamine, methylergonovine), midazolam, pimozide, St. John's wort, terfenadine (not marketed in Canada), or triazolam.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• CNS effects: CNS symptoms (eg, insomnia, abnormal dreams, hallucinations) have been reported with efavirenz; symptoms usually start during first 1 to 2 days of treatment and generally resolve after 2 to 4 weeks; administration at bedtime may improve tolerability of CNS symptoms. May also cause CNS depression (eg, impaired concentration, dizziness, drowsiness); avoid potentially hazardous tasks such as driving or operating machinery. Late-onset neurotoxicity, including ataxia and encephalopathy, may occur months to years after initiation of efavirenz therapy. Some of these events have been reported in patients with CYP2B6 genetic polymorphisms (associated with increase efavirenz levels at standard doses). Promptly assess patients with signs and symptoms of serious neurologic adverse effects and consider discontinuation of therapy.
• Decreased bone mineral density: In clinical trials, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate has been associated with decreases in bone mineral density in adults with HIV and increases in bone metabolism markers. Serum parathyroid hormone and 1,25 vitamin D levels were also higher. Decreases in bone mineral density have also been observed in clinical trials of pediatric patients with HIV. Observations in chronic hepatitis B infected pediatric patients (12 to <18 years of age) were similar. In all pediatric clinical trials, skeletal growth (height) appears unaffected. Consider monitoring of bone density in adult and pediatric patients with a history of pathologic fractures or with other risk factors for bone loss or osteoporosis. Consider calcium and vitamin D supplementation for all patients; effect of supplementation has not been studied but may be beneficial. Long-term bone health and fracture risk unknown. If abnormalities are suspected, expert assessment is recommended.
• Fat redistribution: May cause redistribution/accumulation of body fat (eg, central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement [buffalo hump], peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, cushingoid appearance).
• Hepatotoxicity: Hepatitis, including fulminant hepatitis sometimes fatal or progressing to hepatic failure requiring transplantation, has been reported, including patients with no preexisting hepatic disease or other identifiable risk factors. Monitor liver function tests at baseline and during treatment in all patients. Consider discontinuation in patients who have persistent elevations of serum transaminases >5 times ULN; discontinue if signs or symptoms of hepatitis or hepatic decompensation occur with serum transaminase elevation.
• Immune reconstitution syndrome: Patients may develop immune reconstitution syndrome resulting in the occurrence of an inflammatory response to an indolent or residual opportunistic infection during initial HIV treatment or activation of autoimmune disorders (eg, Graves disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis) later in therapy; further evaluation and treatment may be required.
• Lactic acidosis/hepatomegaly: Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, sometimes fatal, have been reported with use of nucleoside analogs, alone or in combination with other antiretrovirals. Suspend treatment in any patient who develops clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity (marked transaminase elevation may/may not accompany hepatomegaly and steatosis).
• Osteomalacia and renal dysfunction: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may cause osteomalacia with proximal renal tubulopathy. Bone pain, extremity pain, fractures, arthralgias, weakness, and muscle pain have been reported. In patients at risk for renal dysfunction, persistent or worsening bone or muscle symptoms should be evaluated for hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia.
• Psychiatric effects: Serious psychiatric symptoms have been associated with efavirenz, including severe depression, suicide attempts and ideation, paranoia, aggression, and mania. Use with caution in patients with a history of mental illness/drug abuse.
• QT prolongation: QT prolongation has been reported with efavirenz; consider alternative therapy in patients at risk of torsades de pointes or when coadministered with medications with known risk of torsades de pointes.
• Rash: Rash, ranging from mild to moderate maculopapular skin eruptions to life-threatening cutaneous reactions (eg, Stevens-Johnson syndrome), may occur with efavirenz. Mild to moderate rashes occur within 2 weeks (median onset: 11 days) and resolve within 1 month in patients continuing treatment. Treatment may be reinitiated in patients interrupting therapy for mild to moderate rashes; discontinue use and consider alternative therapy if severe rash associated with blistering, desquamation, mucosal involvement, or fever develops. Pediatric patients are more susceptible to development of rash (median time to onset: 28 days); prophylactic antihistamines should be considered.
• Renal toxicity: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may cause renal toxicity (acute renal failure and/or Fanconi syndrome); avoid use with concurrent or recent nephrotoxic therapy (including high-dose or multiple nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug [NSAID] use). Acute renal failure has occurred in HIV-infected patients with risk factors for renal impairment who were on a stable tenofovir disoproxil fumarate regimen to which a high dose or multiple NSAID therapy was added. Consider alternatives to NSAIDs in patients taking tenofovir and at risk for renal impairment. Prior to initiation of therapy and as clinically appropriate during therapy, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus. IDSA guidelines recommend discontinuing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (and substituting with alternative antiretroviral therapy) in patients with HIV who develop a decline in GFR (a >25% decrease in GFR from baseline and to a level of <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2) during use, particularly in presence of proximal tubular dysfunction (eg, euglycemic glycosuria, increased urinary phosphorus excretion and hypophosphatemia, proteinuria [new onset or worsening]) (IDSA [Lucas 2014]). Discontinue if evidence of Fanconi syndrome occurs.
Disease-related concerns:
• Hepatic impairment: Not recommended in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B, C). Use caution in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A). Monitor liver function tests before and during treatment.
• HIV-associated dementia: Avoid efavirenz based regimens if possible in patients with HIV-associated dementia; neuropsychiatric side effects of efavirenz may hinder assessment of the effects of antiretrovirals on the improvement of symptoms associated with HIV-associated dementia (HHS [adult] 2023).
• Renal impairment: Use is not recommended in patients with CrCl <50 mL/minute.
• Seizure disorder: Use efavirenz with caution in patients with a history of seizure disorder; seizures have been associated with use.
Efavirenz may cause a rash, which usually presents as mild to moderate pruritic maculopapular skin eruptions but typically does not require discontinuation. Rash is reported more frequently in pediatric patients compared to adults, and may be more severe (incidence: Adults 26% to 27%, pediatric patients 32% to 40%; grade 3 or 4: Adults 0.9%, pediatric patients 3%) and take longer to appear (median onset: Adults: 11 days; pediatric patients: 28 days [range: 3 to 1,642 days]). Rash may be treated with antihistamines and corticosteroids and usually resolves within 1 month while continuing therapy. Discontinue if severe rash (involving blistering, desquamation, mucosal involvement, or fever) occurs. Consider prophylaxis with antihistamines in children due to frequency and severity of rash reported in children.
Neuropsychiatric effects due to efavirenz may also occur in pediatric patients. The overall reported incidence of CNS adverse effects was 53% (all patients) versus 25% in controls; incidence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in children receiving efavirenz was reported to be 14% in clinical studies and increased to 30% with efavirenz serum concentrations >4 mcg/mL (Puthanakit 2009; Shubber 2013). CNS adverse effects may be more difficult to detect in children because of the challenges assessing neurologic symptoms, such as impaired concentration, sleep disturbances, or behavior disorders, in these patients. Consider evaluation of efavirenz serum concentrations if CNS/neuropsychiatric adverse effects are persistent or severe; may require drug substitution if a suitable alternative exists. Alternatively, consider dose reduction with monitoring of trough concentration and dose adjustment. One study reported an 11% incidence of new-onset seizures in children <36 months of age (HHS [pediatric] 2022).
Emtricitabine-associated hyperpigmentation may occur at a higher frequency in pediatric patients (32%) compared to adults.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) disrupts vitamin D metabolism and has been associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in adults and children. Plasma concentrations of the TDF metabolite tenofovir (TFV) have been associated with endocrine disruption and low BMD; tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is associated with lower TFV concentrations and less decline in BMD than TDF. Data suggest the impact of treatment with TDF on BMD may be greater in children who are less mature (eg, sexual maturity ratings [SMRs] 1 to 2 [previously Tanner stages]) than in those with more advanced pubertal development (SMR ≥3). The potential for BMD loss during the important period of rapid bone accrual in childhood and early adolescence is concerning and favors use of abacavir or TAF in children with SMRs 1 to 3 (children with perinatally acquired HIV are already at risk for low peak bone mass). Prior to initiation of therapy, assessment of benefits versus potential risk should be assessed; with TDF therapy, monitor plasma vitamin D concentrations; supplement with vitamin D as needed; calcium carbonate supplementation may also be considered. Monitoring of BMD may be considered in patients with additional risk factors for decreased bone density (HHS [pediatric] 2022).

The manufacturer's labeling recommends pregnancy testing prior to therapy, and effective contraception in patients who may become pregnant during treatment and for 12 weeks after therapy is discontinued. However, available guidelines note contraception is not required to initiate or continue antiretroviral therapy (ART). Patients with HIV not planning to become pregnant may use any available type of contraception, considering possible drug interactions and contraindications of the specific method. Consult drug interactions database for more detailed information specific to use of this combination and specific contraceptives.
This fixed-dose combination of efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is an alternative regimen for patients with HIV who are not yet pregnant but are trying to conceive (HHS [perinatal] 2024).
Refer to individual monographs for additional information.
This fixed-dose combination of efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is an alternative regimen for pregnant patients with HIV who are antiretroviral-naive, who have had antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the past but are restarting, or who require a new ART regimen (due to poor tolerance or poor virologic response of current regimen). Patients who become pregnant while taking this fixed-dose combination may continue if viral suppression is effective and the regimen is well tolerated. This fixed dose combination may be considered for patients when significant drug interactions would occur with preferred agents or in patients who need the convenience of a co-formulated single dose tablet in a once daily regimen but are not eligible for preferred agents (HHS [perinatal] 2024).
Refer to individual monographs for additional information.
Efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir are present in breast milk.
Refer to individual monographs for additional information.
Consider calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
Test for hepatitis B virus infection prior to the initiation of antiretroviral therapy.
CBC with differential, reticulocyte count, creatine kinase, CD4 count, HIV RNA plasma levels; serum creatinine, estimated creatine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein (prior to initiation and as clinically indicated during therapy); serum phosphorus at baseline and periodically during therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease; hepatic function tests prior to initiation and during treatment (discontinuation of treatment should be considered for persistent serum transaminase elevations >5 times ULN; discontinue if signs or symptoms of hepatitis or hepatic decompensation occur with serum transaminase elevation); bone density (patients with a history of bone fracture or have risk factors for bone loss).
Patients with HIV and HBV coinfection should have hepatic function monitored for several months following discontinuation.
Efavirenz: Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor of HIV-1. It consequently blocks the RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities including HIV-1 replication.
Emtricitabine: Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; cytidine analogue that is phosphorylated intracellularly to emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate which interferes with HIV viral RNA dependent DNA polymerase resulting in inhibition of viral replication.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor; analog of adenosine 5'-monophosphate that interferes with the HIV viral RNA dependent DNA polymerase resulting in inhibition of viral replication. TDF is first converted intracellularly by hydrolysis to tenofovir and subsequently phosphorylated to the active tenofovir diphosphate. Tenofovir inhibits replication of HBV by inhibiting HBV polymerase.
