Can I get pregnant while taking tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (Vemlidy)?

Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (Vemlidy) is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults and children 12 years of age and older with compensated liver disease. Current clinical treatment has not found that patients using tenofovir alafenamide fumarate tablets can cause fetal malformations. Patients who use this drug can generally become pregnant, and the drug can also be used during pregnancy. However, patients must take the medication under the guidance of a doctor and are not allowed to take it privately or suddenly stop taking the medication to avoid recurrence or worsening of the disease. Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate tablets also contain alpha lactose. Patients with galactose intolerance cannot take the drug. They should also pay attention to the occurrence of adverse events such as renal damage, lactic acidosis/severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, etc.
