Tenofovir alafenamide, sold under the brand name Vemlidy, is a medication for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in those with compensated liver disease.[5] It is taken by mouth.[5] It can be used in people over the age of 11.[2] Hepatitis B may worsen after stopping the medication.[5]

Common side effects include headache, nausea, and tiredness.[2] Other side effects may include lactic acidosis.[5] It is not recommended in severe liver problems.[5] Tenofovir alafenamide is converted by the body to tenofovir, by which it works.[2] This than blocks reverse transcriptase which prevents the virus from multiplying.[2]

Tenofovir alafenamide was approved for use in the United States in 2016 and Europe in 2017.[5][2] In the United States it costs about 1,300 USD per month as of 2021.[6] In the United Kingdom this amount costs the NHS about £325 and in Canada it is about 600 CAD.[7][8]
