Vemlidy Dosage

Testing Prior to Initiation of VEMLIDY

Prior to initiation of VEMLIDY, patients should be tested for HIV-1 infection. VEMLIDY alone should not be used in patients with HIV-1 infection.

Prior to or when initiating VEMLIDY, and during treatment with VEMLIDY on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus.

​The recommended dosage of VEMLIDY in adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older and weighing at least 25 kg is one 25 mg tablet taken orally once daily with food.
