ENTALIV-0.5 TABLETS is a brand-name medication containing the antiviral drug entecavir, used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It works by preventing the virus from multiplying, thereby reducing the amount of HBV in the body and slowing the progression of liver damage.
Key information
Active ingredient: Entecavir (0.5 mg).
Therapeutic class: Antiviral, specifically a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI).
Administration: It is an oral tablet that should be swallowed whole on an empty stomach, at least two hours before or after a meal.
Availability: This is a prescription medication.
How it works
Entaliv-0.5 inhibits the viral DNA polymerase enzyme that is essential for the hepatitis B virus to replicate inside liver cells. By blocking this enzyme, entecavir stops the virus from producing new viral particles and controls the infection.
Uses
ENTALIV-0.5 is primarily used to manage chronic HBV infection in adults who show signs of active viral replication and liver inflammation.
Important warnings and precautions
Not a cure for HBV: It does not cure hepatitis B, but it does help manage the infection and reduce the risk of complications.
No prevention of spread: The medication does not prevent the spread of HBV to other people. Safe practices, such as not sharing needles or razors and using condoms, should still be followed.
Lactic acidosis: In rare cases, this medication can cause a severe, sometimes fatal condition called lactic acidosis (excess acid in the blood). Symptoms include unusual muscle pain, difficulty breathing, stomach pain, or yellowing of the skin. Obese women are at a higher risk.
Worsening hepatitis: Do not stop taking ENTALIV-0.5 abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to a severe worsening of your hepatitis B infection.
HIV co-infection: Patients with both HBV and HIV should not use this medication alone. It can cause the HIV virus to develop resistance to certain anti-HIV drugs.
Liver and kidney function: Your doctor will monitor your liver function and may adjust the dosage if you have kidney problems.
Potential side effects
The following are common and serious side effects associated with ENTALIV-0.5:
Common: Headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, indigestion, and insomnia.
Serious (seek immediate medical attention):
Allergic reaction: Rash, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.
Liver problems: Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), dark urine, or severe stomach pain.
Lactic acidosis: Unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, or fatigue.
Who should not take ENTALIV-0.5?
Tell your doctor before taking this medication if you have a history of:
Allergy to entecavir or any of the tablet's ingredients.
Severe liver disease or have experienced lactic acidosis.
Severe renal (kidney) impairment.
Considerations for specific populations
Pregnancy: ENTALIV-0.5 is a pregnancy category C drug, and its use should be discussed with a doctor to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.
Breastfeeding: It is not known if entecavir passes into breast milk. Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking this medication unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Children: The tablet is not recommended for children under two years of age.
Driving: The medication can cause dizziness and fatigue, so you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.
Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol, as it can increase the risk of liver damage.
