===Alternative to [[Viread]]=== A good alternative to [[Viread]] is the proprietary drug [[Vemlidy]] (TAF = [[Tenofovir]] alafenamid), which has a much better side effect profile, although it is supposed to be equally as potent as [[Viread]]. [[Vemlidy]] can be taken at its full dose straightaway. It is possible to start out with a smaller dose, too, but it is better to reach full dosage soon to prevent the development of resistance. This is because it contains far less [[Tenofovir]] than [[Viread]]. Because of its better tolerability, especially with regard to kidney function and bone density, [[Vemlidy]] is probably also better suited for older patients. The only catch on [[Vemlidy]] - besides the fact that, unlike [[Viread]], it is not yet available as a generic drug - is that it is still relatively new on the market, studies on which integrase inhibitors it can be combined with are still missing and only very few ME patients have had experience with it so far. The interaction between [[Vemlidy]] and, for example, the integrase inhibitor Raltegravir, which, as mentioned at the beginning, has to be added at some point, has not yet been investigated, but none is expected.
