- Abstract
In this study, we addressed the recent concerns over the authenticity of generic pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) purchased online by sampling 14 generic PrEPs from different manufacturers and suppliers and measuring tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) content using high-performance liquid chromatography. We confirmed that all the PrEP tablets contained 94.3% to 104.9% of the 300 mg of TDF claimed on the label and 97.3% to 104.4% of the 200 mg FTC claimed on the label.
