VEMLIDY (tenofovir alafenamide) should not be taken with certain medications due to potential drug interactions. For instance, it should be avoided with drugs that significantly affect kidney function, as this can increase the risk of adverse effects. Additionally, medications such as certain anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin), antimycobacterials (e.g., rifampin, rifabutin), and St. John's Wort can reduce the effectiveness of VEMLIDY. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive list and personalized advice.
