Consumer:

Emtricitabine is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Compared to patients with normal renal function (CrCl above 80 mL/min), peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of emtricitabine increased by 45% and 113%, respectively, in patients with moderate renal dysfunction (CrCl 30 to 49 mL/min), and 27% and 186%, respectively, in patients with severe renal dysfunction (CrCl below 30 mL/min). Systemic exposure was increased even further in patients with end-stage renal disease managed on dialysis. These patients had an approximately 3.5-fold increase in emtricitabine AUC compared to patients with normal renal function. Renal clearance of emtricitabine decreased by 68% and 86%, respectively, in patients with moderate and severe renal dysfunction. Dosage adjustment of emtricitabine is recommended for patients with CrCl below 50 mL/min, including patients on dialysis, in accordance with the manufacturer's product labeling. Clinical response to treatment and renal function should be closely monitored.
