Uses of Tavin EM Tablet

Benefits of Tavin EM Tablet

In HIV infection

Tavin EM Tablet prevents the HIV virus from multiplying in your body. It helps control the infection and makes your immune system work better. This lowers your chances of getting complications such as new infections and improves your quality of life.

It is not a cure of HIV or AIDS and should not be used to prevent HIV after accidental exposure to a risk.
