🩺 Clinical
The combination of emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir AF is used to treat HIV. Emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate are in a class of medications called nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). They work by slowing the spread of HIV in the body. Although emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir AF will not cure HIV, these medications may decrease your chance of developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related illnesses. Taking these medications and making other lifestyle changes may decrease the risk of giving the...

⏳ Availability & generic status
The FDA lists approved generic versions of this medicine, but that does not always mean a pharmacy can get one today. Patent rules, launch agreements, supply and pricing can affect when generics actually arrive.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ODEFSEY is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg: as initial therapy in those with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL or to replace a stable antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of ODEFSEY [see Microbiology (12.4) and Clinical Studies (14) ].
ODEFSEY is a three-drug combination of emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), both HIV nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and rilpivirine (RPV), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), and is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 25kg: as initial therapy in those with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL; or to replace a stable antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of ODEFSEY.
( 1 ) Limitations of Use : More rilpivirine-treated participants with HIV-1 RNA greater than 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy experienced virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL) compared to rilpivirine-treated participants with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL. ( 14.2 , 14.3 ) Limitations of Use: More rilpivirine-treated participants with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA greater than 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy experienced virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL) compared to rilpivirine-treated participants with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL [see Clinical Studies (14.2 , 14.3) ].
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Testing: Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, test for hepatitis B virus infection. Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, and during treatment on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage: one tablet taken orally once daily with a meal.
( 2.2 ) For pregnant patients who are already on ODEFSEY prior to pregnancy and who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL), one tablet taken once daily may be continued. Lower exposures of rilpivirine were observed during pregnancy, therefore viral load should be monitored closely. ( 2.3 ) Renal impairment: ODEFSEY is not recommended in patients with estimated creatinine clearance of 15 to below 30 mL per minute, or below 15 mL per minute who are not receiving chronic hemodialysis.
( 2.4 )
2.1Testing Prior to Initiation and During Treatment with ODEFSEY Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, test patients for hepatitis B virus infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, and during treatment with ODEFSEY, on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ].
2.2Recommended Dosage in Adult and Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 25 kg ODEFSEY is a three-drug fixed dose combination product containing 200 mg of emtricitabine (FTC), 25 mg of rilpivirine (RPV), and 25 mg of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). The recommended dosage of ODEFSEY is one tablet taken orally once daily with a meal in adults and pediatric patients with body weight at least 25 kg and creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 30 mL per minute [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
2.3Recommended Dosage During Pregnancy For pregnant patients who are already on ODEFSEY prior to pregnancy and are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL), one tablet of ODEFSEY taken once daily may be continued. Lower exposures of rilpivirine, a component of ODEFSEY, were observed during pregnancy, therefore viral load should be monitored closely [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
2.4Not Recommended in Patients with Severe Renal Impairment ODEFSEY is not recommended in patients with: severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance of 15 to below 30 mL per minute); or end stage renal disease (ESRD; estimated creatinine clearance below 15 mL per minute) who are not receiving chronic hemodialysis [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) , Warnings and Precautions (5.5) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ].

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions: Severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported during postmarketing experience with RPV-containing regimens, including cases of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS). Immediately discontinue treatment if hypersensitivity or rash with systemic symptoms or elevations in hepatic serum biochemistries develops and closely monitor clinical status, including hepatic serum biochemistries. ( 5.2 ) Hepatotoxicity: Hepatic adverse events have been reported in patients receiving an RPV-containing regimen.
Monitor liver-associated tests before and during treatment with ODEFSEY in patients with underlying hepatic disease or marked elevations in liver-associated tests. Also consider monitoring liver-associated tests in patients without risk factors. ( 5.3 ) Depressive disorders: Severe depressive disorders have been reported.
Immediate medical evaluation is recommended for severe depressive disorders. ( 5.4 ) New onset or worsening renal impairment: Assessment of serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein when initiating ODEFSEY and during therapy on a clinically appropriate schedule in all patients. Also assess serum phosphorus in patients with chronic kidney disease.
( 5.5 ) Concomitant use of ODEFSEY with drugs with a known risk to prolong the QTc interval of the electrocardiogram may increase the risk of Torsade de Pointes. ( 5.6 ) Lactic acidosis/severe hepatomegaly with steatosis: Discontinue treatment in patients who develop symptoms or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity. ( 5.7 ) Immune reconstitution syndrome: May necessitate further evaluation and treatment.
( 5.8 )
5.1Severe Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B in Patients with HIV-1 and HBV Test patients with HIV-1 for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) before or when initiating antiretroviral therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B (e.g., liver decompensation and liver failure) have been reported in patients with HIV-1 and HBV who have discontinued products containing FTC and/or TDF, and may occur with discontinuation of ODEFSEY. Patients with HIV-1 and HBV who discontinue ODEFSEY should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment with ODEFSEY.
If appropriate, anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted, especially in patients with advanced liver disease or cirrhosis, since post treatment exacerbation of hepatitis may lead to hepatic decompensation and liver failure.
5.2Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions Severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions, including cases of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), have been reported during postmarketing experience with RPV-containing regimens. While some skin reactions were accompanied by constitutional symptoms such as fever, other skin reactions were associated with organ dysfunction, including elevations in hepatic serum biochemistries. During Phase 3 clinical trials of RPV, treatment-related rashes with at least Grade 2 severity were reported in 1% of participants.
Overall, most rashes were Grade 1 or 2 and occurred in the first four to six weeks of therapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Discontinue ODEFSEY immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop, including but not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, blisters, mucosal involvement, conjunctivitis, facial edema, angioedema, hepatitis, or eosinophilia. Clinical status including laboratory parameters should be monitored and appropriate therapy should be initiated.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug (or a drug given in various combinations with other concomitant therapy) cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug (or drug given in the same or different combination therapy) and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse Reactions in Clinical Trials of ODEFSEY in Virologically-Suppressed Adult Participants with HIV-1 The safety of ODEFSEY in virologically-suppressed adults is based on Week 48 data from two randomized, double-blinded, active-controlled clinical trials, 1160 and 1216, that enrolled 1505 adult participants with HIV-1 who were virologically-suppressed for at least 6 months.
Both trials were designed to compare switching to ODEFSEY to maintaining efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (EFV/FTC/TDF) or emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/RPV/TDF) in Trials 1160 and 1216, respectively. A total of 754 participants received one tablet of ODEFSEY daily [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. The most common adverse reactions (all Grades) reported in at least 2% of participants in the ODEFSEY group across Trials 1216 and 1160 were headache and sleep disturbances (Table 1).
Over 98% of the adverse reactions in the ODEFSEY group were of mild to moderate intensity. The proportion of participants who discontinued treatment with ODEFSEY due to adverse events, regardless of severity, was 2% compared to 1% for FTC/RPV/TDF and 2% for EFV/FTC/TDF. Table 1 Adverse Reactions Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on all adverse events attributed to study drugs by the investigator.

In Trial 1160, the median baseline eGFR was 110 mL per minute for participants who switched to ODEFSEY from EFV/FTC/TDF (N=438), and the mean serum creatinine increased by 0.1 mg per dL from baseline to Week 48. Bone Mineral Density Effects Changes in BMD from baseline to Week 48 were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in Trials 1216 and 1160. In Trial 1216, mean bone mineral density (BMD) increased in participants who switched to ODEFSEY (1.61% lumbar spine, 1.04% total hip) and remained stable or decreased in participants who remained on FTC/RPV/TDF (0.08% lumbar spine, −0.2…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS ODEFSEY is a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection; therefore, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended. ( 7.1 ) Consult the Full Prescribing Information prior to and during treatment for important drug interactions. ( 4 , 5.6 , 7 )
7.1Not Recommended with Other Antiretroviral Medications Because ODEFSEY is a complete regimen, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended.
7.2Drugs Inducing or Inhibiting CYP3A Enzymes RPV is primarily metabolized by CYP3A, and drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A may affect the clearance of RPV [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Coadministration of RPV and drugs that induce CYP3A may result in decreased plasma concentrations of RPV and loss of virologic response and possible resistance to RPV or to the class of NNRTIs [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.6) , and Table 4 ] . Coadministration of RPV and drugs that inhibit CYP3A may result in increased plasma concentrations of RPV and possible adverse events.
7.3Drugs Inducing or Inhibiting P-glycoprotein TAF, a component of ODEFSEY, is a substrate of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3. Drugs that strongly affect P-gp and BCRP activity may lead to changes in TAF absorption (see Table 4 ) . Drugs that induce P-gp activity are expected to decrease the absorption of TAF, resulting in decreased plasma concentration of TAF, which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect of ODEFSEY and development of resistance.
Coadministration of ODEFSEY with other drugs that inhibit P-gp and BCRP may increase the absorption and plasma concentration of TAF.
7.4Drugs Increasing Gastric pH Coadministration of RPV with drugs that increase gastric pH may decrease plasma concentrations of RPV and lead to loss of virologic response and possible resistance to RPV or to the class of NNRTIs. Use of RPV with proton pump inhibitors is contraindicated and use of RPV with H 2 -receptor antagonists requires staggered administration [see Contraindications (4) and Table 4 ].
7.5QT Prolonging Drugs There is limited information available on the potential for a pharmacodynamic interaction between RPV and drugs that prolong the QTc interval. In a study of healthy participants, higher than recommended doses of RPV, 75 mg once daily and 300 mg once daily (3 times and 12 times recommended daily dose in ODEFSEY) prolonged the QTc interval [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Consider alternative medications to ODEFSEY in patients taking a drug with a known risk of Torsade de Pointes.
7.6Drugs Affecting Renal Function Because FTC and tenofovir are primarily excreted by the kidneys by a combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion, coadministration of ODEFSEY with drugs that reduce renal function or compete for active tubular secretion may increase concentrations of FTC, tenofovir, and other renally eliminated drugs and this may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Some examples of drugs that are eliminated by active tubular secretion include, but are not limited to, acyclovir, cidofovir, ganciclovir, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin), and high-dose or multiple NSAIDs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] .
7.7Significant Drug Interactions Table 4 provides a listing of established or potentially clinically significant drug interactions with recommended steps to prevent or manage the drug interaction (the table is not all inclusive). The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with either ODEFSEY, the components of ODEFSEY (FTC, RPV and TAF) as individual agents, or are predicted drug interactions that may occur with ODEFSEY [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , Tables 9–12]. For list of contraindicated drugs, [see Contraindications (4) ].

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Total rilpivirine exposures were generally lower during pregnancy compared to the postpartum period. ( 2.3 , 8.1 , 12.3 ). Pediatrics: Not recommended for patients weighing less than 25 kg. ( 8.4 )
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in individuals exposed to ODEFSEY during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Available data from the APR show no statistically significant difference in the overall risk of major birth defects for emtricitabine (FTC), rilpivirine (RPV) or tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) compared with the background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in a US reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) (see Data ) .
The rate of miscarriage is not reported in the APR. The estimated background rate of miscarriage in the clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population is 15–20%. Based on the experience of pregnant individuals with HIV-1 who completed a clinical trial through the postpartum period with an RPV-based regimen, no dose adjustments are required for pregnant patients who are already on a stable RPV-containing regimen prior to pregnancy and who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL).
Lower exposures of RPV were observed during pregnancy compared to the postpartum period. Therefore, viral load should be monitored closely [see Data and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . In animal studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when the components of ODEFSEY were administered separately during the period of organogenesis at exposures up to 60 and 108 times (mice and rabbits, respectively; FTC), 15 and 70 times (rats and rabbits, respectively; RPV) and equal to and 53 times (rats and rabbits, respectively; TAF) the exposure at the recommended daily dose of these components in ODEFSEY (see Data ) .
Likewise, no adverse developmental effects were seen when FTC was administered to mice and RPV was administered to rats through lactation at exposures up to approximately 60 and 63 times, respectively, the exposure at the recommended daily dose of these components in ODEFSEY. No adverse effects were observed in the offspring when TDF was administered through lactation at tenofovir exposures of approximately 14 times the exposure at the recommended daily dosage of ODEFSEY. Data Human Data Prospective reports from the APR of overall major birth defects in pregnancies exposed to drug components of ODEFSEY are compared with a U.S. background major birth defect rate.

🤰 Pregnancy ▾
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in individuals exposed to ODEFSEY during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Available data from the APR show no statistically significant difference in the overall risk of major birth defects for emtricitabine (FTC), rilpivirine (RPV) or tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) compared with the background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in a US reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) (see Data ) .
The rate of miscarriage is not reported in the APR. The estimated background rate of miscarriage in the clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population is 15–20%. Based on the experience of pregnant individuals with HIV-1 who completed a clinical trial through the postpartum period with an RPV-based regimen, no dose adjustments are required for pregnant patients who are already on a stable RPV-containing regimen prior to pregnancy and who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL).
Lower exposures of RPV were observed during pregnancy compared to the postpartum period. Therefore, viral load should be monitored closely [see Data and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . In animal studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when the components of ODEFSEY were administered separately during the period of organogenesis at exposures up to 60 and 108 times (mice and rabbits, respectively; FTC), 15 and 70 times (rats and rabbits, respectively; RPV) and equal to and 53 times (rats and rabbits, respectively; TAF) the exposure at the recommended daily dose of these components in ODEFSEY (see Data ) .
Likewise, no adverse developmental effects were seen when FTC was administered to mice and RPV was administered to rats through lactation at exposures up to approximately 60 and 63 times, respectively, the exposure at the recommended daily dose of these components in ODEFSEY. No adverse effects were observed in the offspring when TDF was administered through lactation at tenofovir exposures of approximately 14 times the exposure at the recommended daily dosage of ODEFSEY. Data Human Data Prospective reports from the APR of overall major birth defects in pregnancies exposed to drug components of ODEFSEY are compared with a U.S. background major birth defect rate.
Methodological limitations of the APR include the use of MACDP as the external comparator group. The MACDP population is not disease-specific, evaluates women and infants from a limited geographic area, and does not include outcomes for births that occurred at less than 20 weeks gestation. Emtricitabine (FTC): Based on prospective reports to the APR of over 5,400 exposures to FTC-containing regimens during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 3,900 exposed in the first trimester and over 1,500 exposed in the second/third trimester), the prevalence of birth defects in live births was 2.6% (95% CI: 2.2% to 3.2%) and 2.7% (95% CI: 1.9% to 3.7%) following first and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to FTC-containing regimens.

🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The efficacy and safety of ODEFSEY as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 was established in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with body weight greater than or equal to 25 kg [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. No pediatric clinical trials were conducted with ODEFSEY . Use of ODEFSEY in this age group is supported by adequate and well-controlled studies of RPV+FTC+TDF in adults with HIV-1 infection, adequate and well-controlled studies of FTC+TAF with EVG+COBI in adults with HIV-1, and by the following pediatric studies conducted using the components of ODEFSEY [see Clinical Studies (14) ]: 48-week open-label trials of antiretroviral treatment-naïve pediatric participants with HIV-1 aged 12 to less than 18 years and weighing at least 32 kg (N=36) and aged 6 to less than 12 years weighing at least 17 kg (N=18) treated with RPV and other antiretrovirals.
The safety and efficacy of RPV administered with other antiretrovirals were similar to that in antiretroviral treatment-naïve adults with HIV-1 on this regimen [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14) ]. 48-week open-label trial of 26 virologically-suppressed pediatric participants with HIV-1 aged less than 12 years old and weighing at least 16 kg (N=26) treated with RPV and other antiretrovirals. The safety and efficacy of RPV administered with other antiretrovirals were similar to that in virologically-suppressed adults with HIV-1 on this regimen [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] 48-week open-label trials of antiretroviral treatment-naïve pediatric participants with HIV-1 aged 12 to less than 18 years and weighing at least 35 kg (N=50) and virologically-suppressed pediatric participants between the ages of 6 to less than 12 years weighing at least 25 kg (N=52) treated with FTC+TAF with EVG+COBI.
The safety and efficacy of FTC+TAF with EVG+COBI were similar to that in adults with HIV-1 on this regimen, with the exception of a decrease from baseline in CD4+ cell counts in participants 6 to less than 12 years of age weighing at least 25 kg [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14) ]. Because it is a fixed-dose combination tablet, the dose of ODEFSEY cannot be adjusted for patients of lower age and weight. The safety and efficacy of ODEFSEY have not been established in pediatric patients weighing less than 25 kg [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14) ] .
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use In clinical trials, 80 of the 97 participants enrolled aged 65 years and over received FTC+TAF with EVG+COBI. No differences in safety or efficacy have been observed between elderly participants and those between 12 and less than 65 years of age. Clinical trials of RPV did not include sufficient numbers of participants aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger participants [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Limited data are available on overdose of the components of ODEFSEY in patients. If overdose occurs, monitor the patient for evidence of toxicity. Treatment of overdose with ODEFSEY consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs and ECG (QT interval) as well as observation of the clinical status of the patient.
Emtricitabine (FTC): Hemodialysis treatment removes approximately 30% of the FTC dose over a 3-hour dialysis period starting within 1.5 hours of FTC dosing (blood flow rate of 400 mL per minute and a dialysate flow rate of 600 mL per minute). It is not known whether FTC can be removed by peritoneal dialysis. Rilpivirine (RPV): Human experience of overdose with RPV is limited.
There is no specific antidote for overdose with RPV. Since RPV is highly bound to plasma protein, dialysis is unlikely to result in significant removal of RPV. Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF): Tenofovir is efficiently removed by hemodialysis with an extraction coefficient of approximately 54%.

12.1Mechanism of Action ODEFSEY is a fixed dose combination of antiretroviral drugs emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir alafenamide [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .
12.2Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology When higher than recommended RPV doses of 75 mg (3 times the recommended dosage in ODEFSEY) once daily and 300 mg (12 times the recommended dosage in ODEFSEY) once daily were studied in healthy adults, the maximum mean time-matched (95% upper confidence bound) differences in QTcF interval from placebo after baseline correction were 10.7 (15.3) and 23.3 (28.4) milliseconds, respectively. Steady-state administration of RPV 75 mg once daily and 300 mg once daily resulted in a mean steady-state C max approximately 2.6 times and 6.7 times, respectively, higher than the mean C max observed with the recommended 25 mg once daily dose of RPV [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] .
The effect of RPV at the recommended dose of 25 mg once daily on the QTcF interval was evaluated in a randomized, placebo-, and active- (moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily) controlled crossover study in 60 healthy adults, with 13 measurements over 24 hours at steady state. The maximum mean time-matched (95% upper confidence bound) differences in QTcF interval from placebo after baseline correction was 2 (5) milliseconds (i.e., below the threshold of clinical concern). In a thorough QT/QTc study in 48 healthy participants, TAF at the recommended dose and at a dose approximately 5 times the recommended dose, did not affect the QT/QTc interval and did not prolong the PR interval.
The effect of FTC on the QT interval is not known.

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information). Post-treatment Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B in Patients with HBV Coinfection Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients with HBV and HIV-1 who have discontinued products containing FTC and/or TDF, and may likewise occur with discontinuation of ODEFSEY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Advise the patient to not discontinue ODEFSEY without first informing their healthcare provider.
Severe Skin Reactions and Hypersensitivity Inform patients that skin reactions ranging from mild to severe, including Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), have been reported with RPV-containing products. Instruct patients to immediately stop taking ODEFSEY and seek medical attention if they develop a rash associated with any of the following symptoms: fever, blisters, mucosal involvement, eye inflammation (conjunctivitis), severe allergic reaction causing swelling of the face, eyes, lips, mouth, tongue or throat which may lead to difficulty swallowing or breathing, and any signs and symptoms of liver problems, as they may be a sign of a more serious reaction.
Patients should understand that if severe rash occurs, they will be closely monitored, laboratory tests will be performed and appropriate therapy will be initiated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Hepatotoxicity Inform patients that hepatotoxicity has been reported with RPV, therefore, it is important to inform the healthcare professional if patients have underlying hepatitis B or C or elevations in liver-associated tests prior to treatment [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] .
Depressive Disorders Inform patients that depressive disorders (depressed mood, depression, dysphoria, major depression, mood altered, negative thoughts, suicide attempt, suicidal ideation) have been reported with RPV. Inform patients to seek immediate medical evaluation if they experience depressive symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ]. New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment Advise patients to avoid taking ODEFSEY with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic agents.
Postmarketing cases of renal impairment, including acute renal failure, have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. Drug Interactions ODEFSEY may interact with many drugs and is not recommended to be coadministered with numerous drugs. Advise patients to report to their healthcare provider the use of any other prescription or nonprescription medication or herbal products, including St.
John's wort [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.6) and Drug Interactions (7) ] . Lactic Acidosis and Severe Hepatomegaly Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with use of drugs similar to ODEFSEY. Advise patients to stop taking ODEFSEY if they develop clinical symptoms suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] .
Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider immediately of any symptoms of infection, as in some patients with advanced HIV infection (AIDS), signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-HIV treatment is started [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ]. Missed Dosage Inform patients that it is important to take ODEFSEY on a regular dosing schedule with a meal and to avoid missing doses, as it can result in development of resistance [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
Pregnancy Registry Inform patients that there is an antiretroviral pregnancy registry to monitor fetal outcomes in those exposed to ODEFSEY during pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ]. Lactation Instruct patients with HIV-1 that the potential risks of breastfeeding include: (1) HIV-1 transmission to infants without HIV-1, (2) devel…
