== Contraindications ==
In North America and Europe, Atripla is marketed jointly by ] and ], but in much of the developing world, marketing and distribution is handled by ]<ref>{{cite web | author= | title=Merck To Register, Lower Cost Of Antiretroviral Atripla In Developing Countries | url=http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/63612.php | work=Medical News Today | date=23 February 2007 | accessdate=2010-01-03}}</ref> ] released its own version of Atripla in India, called '''Viraday'''. In ], Atripla is marketed by Laboratorios Gador.
People who have shown strong hypersensitivity to efavirenz, should not take efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir. Drugs that are contraindicated are: voriconazole, ergot derivative drugs, benzodiazepines midazolam and triazolam, calcium channel blocker bepridil, cisapride, pimozide and St. John's wort (''Hypericum perforatum''). Breastfeeding is also contraindicated.<ref name="Atripla FDA label"/>

== Background ==
Atripla was approved as a once daily tablet to treat HIV in 2006. The main advantage of the new drug Atripla was that could be taken once daily and reduces the overall stress in an antiretroviral regimen.<ref>{{cite web | author= | title=HIV Medication List - AIDS Drugs: | url=http://www.aidsdrugsonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=27 | work=AIDS Drugs HIV Reference | publisher=aidsdrugsonline | year=2009 | accessdate=2010-01-03}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> There is currently no generic version of Atripla available in the United States, but countries like Brazil and India are involved with compulsory licensing. The main advantage for these countries in producing a generic Atripla (Viraday) is they can sell it domestically at a radically lower cost than the price of the United States version. India is currently a signatory to ] and consequently there will be a drop in the amount of generic HIV medicines available.

Common side effects of Atripla are tiredness, dizziness, stomach and intestinal upset, and skin discoloration. More severe side effects are hallucinations, sleeplessness and depression.<ref name=side-effects>{{cite web | author= | title=Possible Side Effects of ATRIPLA | url=http://www.atripla.com/Content.aspx?bmscontentpg=atripla-side-effects | publisher=Bristol-Myers Squibb & Gilead Sciences, LLC | year=2008 | accessdate=2010-01-03}}</ref> Common side effects of efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir are tiredness, dizziness, gastrointestinal distress, and skin discoloration.

Recommended dosage for efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir is one tablet at or before bedtime. Side effects can be reduced if it is taken on an empty stomach. People with kidney or liver problems can take one tablet by mouth once a day. However, people whose CrCl levels are less than 50ml/min should not follow this dosage. Instead, patients should be prescribed drug components of the fixed-dose combinations while adjusting TDF and FTC doses according to the patient's CrCl levels.<ref>{{cite web|title=Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents.

Medications that should not be taken with Atripla are "Hismanal (astemizole), Vascor (bepridil), Propulsid (cisapride), Versed (midazolam), Orap (pimozide), Halcion (triazolam), or ergot derivatives (for example, Wigraine and Cafergot)." Discuss any other HIV or hepatitis medications you are taking with your doctor to avoid complications. Additionally, St. John's wort is known to reduce the effectiveness of Atripla, resulting in increased viral load and possible resistance to Atripla.<ref>{{cite web | author= | title=Medicines You Should Not Take with ATRIPLA | url=http://www.atripla.com/Content.aspx?bmscontentpg=hiv-medications | publisher=Bristol-Myers Squibb & Gilead Sciences, LLC | year=2008 | accessdate=2010-01-03}}</ref> Medications that should not be taken with efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir include bepridil, midazolam, pimozide, triazolam, or ergot derivatives.

== References == == Mechanism of action ==
Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) of HIV-1. Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) of HIV-1. Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor of HIV-1, and it can be classified as an NtRTI. These three drugs work in combination to target the HIV reverse transcriptase protein in three ways, which reduces the virus's capacity to mutate.<ref name="Atripla FDA label">{{cite web | title=Atripla- efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet, film coated | website=DailyMed | date=5 November 2019 | url=https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=2e97aa6d-09f7-46df-9499-63db7e9bac35 | access-date=3 February 2020}}</ref>
