What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Atripla Overview
efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir. Atripla is used alone or with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life. Efavirenz belongs to a class of drugs known as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Emtricitabine and tenofovir belong to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir is not a cure for HIV infection. To decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, continue to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during sexual activity as directed by your doctor. Do not share personal items (such as needles/syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Atripla Warnings
If you have hepatitis B infection, your hepatitis symptoms may get worse or become very serious if you stop taking Atripla. Talk with your doctor before stopping Atripla. Your doctor will monitor liver tests for several months after you stop efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of worsening liver problems.
How to Use Atripla
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions regarding the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Take Atripla by mouth on an empty stomach, without food, usually once daily at bedtime or as directed by your doctor. Taking Atripla at bedtime helps to decrease some of the side effects. See Side Effects section. Because this combination product has fixed doses of efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir, you should only use it if your doctor has determined that the doses of all 3 medications in Atripla are right for you. It is very important to continue taking Atripla (and other HIV medications) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses. Do not increase your dose, take Atripla more often than prescribed, or stop taking it (or other HIV medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Skipping or changing your dose without approval from your doctor may cause the amount of virus to increase, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or worsen side effects. For the best effect, take Atripla at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take Atripla at the same time every day.

Efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation).
