in your stomach after taking your Tenofovir tablet. You seemed to have this problem for a while. The known side effects of Tenofovir are listed in the label information or you can google the Internet, see for example:

In my opinion it is unlikely to be related to Tenofovir. You should check your ALT and viral load. Otherwise try taking Tenofovir with food? If the problem persists, you should see your doctor for further investigation.
hi guys. I'm hbv positive (E Ag negative). I develop serious side effects like extreme fatigue, breathlessness and palpitations anytime I'm taking Tenofovir or baraclude. I'm unable to take either of d drugs for more than 2months at a stretch. what could be responsible for this and is there any remedy?
Tenofovir is known to have a harmful effect on the kidney tubules and boosting agents may raise levels of tenofovir in the kidneys, exacerbating the harmful effects of the drug.
Every drug has side effects, even tenofovir has more side effects than entacavir, but tenofovir has greater chance of clearing the virus. If there is a chance to clear it then one should go for it rather then wait for virus to mutate and become drug resistance. You need to monitor your kidney functions in the initial stage of taking tenofovir. You should also get a fibroscan done to access the damage of the liver. Anything greater than 7 Kpa is a concern.
It is only more potent in the sense that as a prodrug of Tenofovir, just like the existing Viread(TDF), TAF converts to Tenofovir mainly in the liver cells, therefore has less side effects. But as Stef2011 stated, they reduced the dosage of TAF accordingly, so the same amount of Tenofovir is delivered to the liver cells as TDF. It would be really nice if they can do a proper dosage study of TAF/TDF specifically for HBV (and not use the same dosage for HIV/AIDS).
I had very bad side effects like dizziness , nausea, vomiting and also stomach problems. Sometime, I couldn't wake up. I am so weak. By the way, I have Viread( Tenofovir ) 123 mg expired date 1.201,anyone who wants it I will post it. I didn't use it anymore so I can post it free. I also have Tenofovir 245 mg but it is expired 8.2013 so may be it is not good anymore. I used it both of the only 3 tabts each and I stopped.
ContraVir reports data shows CMX157 more potent against HBV than Gilead Viread
ContraVir Pharmaceuticals (CTRV) announced preliminary data dramatizing the unique properties of CMX157, the company's highly potent lipid prodrug of the successful antiviral drug tenofovir, or TFV. CMX157 was shown to be 60-fold more active than tenofovir against the hepatitis B virus, or HBV, based on in vitro studies.
Thanks Stef and luckyman316 , when it will be available in market ?
lamivudine is not an hbv drug anymore, ban of it has been proposed already because it only worsen the infection
the only drugsare: tenofovir, peginterferon, entecavir, none is curative except two cases:
peginterferon when hbsag is less than 1000-1500iu/ml
sequential treatment of 3 years tenofovir or entecavir and peginterferon add on 1-2years (5years total)
be aware most liver specialist are ignorant about hbv and poor countries have corrupt doctors prescribing damaging drugs, tenofovir gener
Have any of the women on this forum who are taking tenofovir experienced the side effects? I know one of them is redistribution of fat -- such as in the neck/back/chest areas. Does anyone know how common these sides are/experienced this? And to what extent?
I am about to start taking this regularly so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for anything that could potentially come my way...
Any comments pls...
Dude I'm no damn troll. I've taken both and I'm having harsh side effects. Telling people that there's no side effects from peg, entecavir, or tenofovir is extremely ignorant. Do you want to see my lab work before treatment of Entecavir or Tenofovir? Telling people that hbv is "harmless" is the most dumbest thing I've heard on here. The "harmless" hbv took my friends life while she was on treatment. Are you sponsored by some of these companies?
Currently on a clinical trial (TAF vs TDF - double blinded study). Started meds 3 days ago, didn't notice any side effects until later yesterday. I can only describe it as my feet and legs feeling cold. Did some research and it's suggested lactic acidosis. Should I be concerned this early on about this? I'm not sure if it's a side effect of the drug or just the cold weather doing it right now (I also sit under an air vent all day at work). At what point should I be worried?
