How the body breaks it down

NA = Not Applicable Patients with Hepatic Impairment The pharmacokinetics of FTC have not been studied in subjects with hepatic impairment; however, FTC is not significantly metabolized by liver enzymes, so the impact of liver impairment should be limited.

With food

Effects of Food on Oral Absorption Emtricitabine capsules may be taken with or without food.
