Ingredients
ENTAVIR TABLETS contain the antiviral medication Entecavir and are primarily used to treat chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The medication works by stopping the virus from multiplying, which lowers the viral load in the body and reduces liver damage. The tablets are manufactured by Cipla Ltd. Key facts Active ingredient: Entecavir, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). Mechanism of action: Entecavir blocks the viral DNA polymerase enzyme, which is essential for the hepatitis B virus to replicate. This action controls the infection and minimizes liver damage. Purpose: To manage chronic HBV infection in adults and, in some cases, children aged 2 and older. It is not a cure for hepatitis B and does not prevent its transmission. Dosage and administration Entavir is typically taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least two hours before or after a meal. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, or broken. Your doctor will determine the exact dosage and duration of treatment. It is crucial not to stop taking the medication abruptly, as this can cause a severe flare-up of the hepatitis B infection. Potential side effects Common side effects of Entavir can include: Headache Nausea and vomiting Fatigue and dizziness Stomach pain or indigestion Diarrhea More serious, but rare, side effects may also occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: Lactic acidosis: Symptoms include unexplained muscle pain, trouble breathing, irregular heartbeat, and severe stomach pain. Liver problems: Symptoms include yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark-colored urine, light-colored stools, or severe abdominal pain. Warnings and precautions Pre-existing conditions: Inform your doctor if you have kidney or severe liver disease, as a dosage adjustment may be necessary. HIV co-infection: Patients with both HBV and HIV should not take Entavir unless they are also being treated for HIV, as it could cause the HIV to become resistant to treatment. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The effects on unborn and nursing infants are not fully known. Consult your doctor before taking Entavir if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Alcohol consumption: Avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it may increase the risk of liver damage. Driving/operating machinery: This medication can cause dizziness or sleepiness. Avoid driving or other activities that require focus until you know how it affects you. Disclaimer: This information is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
