Answered by Doctor Vu Tan Phuc - Gastroenterologist, Department of Examination & Internal Medicine - Vinmec Phu Quoc International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Can I use TAF pills for kidney tonics? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
TAF (Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate) has very little effect on the kidneys. As recommended, the drug is still used and no dose adjustment is required in patients without renal impairment and in patients with renal impairment but with a glomerular filtration rate CrCl >= 15 ml/min. For those reasons, your doctor advises you not to take kidney supplements for the sake of taking TAF.
If you still have questions about taking TAF drugs, you can use kidney tonics, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
