When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Tenofovir is primarily eliminated by the kidney via glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. Renal impairment, including acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome, has been reported with tenofovir use. Close monitoring of renal function and lengthening the dosing interval are recommended for patients with creatinine clearance less than 50 mL/min. Creatinine clearance should be calculated in all patients before starting tenofovir treatment and during treatment when clinically appropriate. Routine monitoring of serum creatinine and phosphorus is recommended for patients at risk of or with a history of renal dysfunction. Safety and effectiveness have not been evaluated in patients with renal insufficiency using dose adjustments; therefore, the benefit of tenofovir treatment should be weighed against the risk of renal toxicity. Tenofovir should be avoided in patients who are currently using or have recently used nephrotoxic drugs.
