Pharmacology
Odefsey is a fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine (an NRTI that inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by chain termination), rilpivirine (an NNRTI that non-competitively inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase), and tenofovir alafenamide (a prodrug that is converted to tenofovir, an NRTI inhibiting HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by chain termination).
Symtuza is a fixed-dose combination containing darunavir (an HIV-1 protease inhibitor that prevents cleavage of Gag-Pol polyproteins), cobicistat (a CYP3A inhibitor that enhances darunavir exposure), emtricitabine (an NRTI that inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase through chain termination), and tenofovir alafenamide (an NRTI prodrug converted to tenofovir diphosphate that inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase).
