Safely Buy Vemlidy ( Tenofovir alafenamide ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Vemlidy is an antiviral medication used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults and children over the age of 12.

Tenofovir alafenamide is an HBV nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that targets hepatitis B viral cells in your liver. The inhibitory action of Vemlidy allows it to prevent the spread of HBV cells by inhibiting their growth and reducing the amount of virus in your body. This medication may also improve your liver function.
