Ingredients
Entehep-0.5 is a brand name for tablets containing the antiviral medication entecavir, which is primarily used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Active ingredient The primary active ingredient in Entehep-0.5 is entecavir, in a 0.5 mg dose. Mechanism of action Entecavir is a nucleoside analog that works by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase, an enzyme crucial for the hepatitis B virus to multiply. By blocking this enzyme, the drug prevents the virus from replicating, which reduces the amount of HBV in the body and slows the progression of liver damage. Therapeutic use Entehep-0.5 is prescribed for adults and children (typically aged 2 years and older) who have chronic hepatitis B and show signs of active viral replication and liver damage. It helps to manage the infection, improve liver function, and lower the risk of complications such as cirrhosis (liver scarring) and liver cancer. It is important to note that it does not cure hepatitis B. Dosage and administration Take on an empty stomach: The medication is most effective when taken on an empty stomach, at least two hours before or after a meal. Standard dosage: The typical dose for adults is 0.5 mg once daily, but this can vary depending on the individual's condition and previous treatment history. Consistency is key: To maximize effectiveness, patients should take the tablet at the same time every day and not stop taking it suddenly, as this can cause the hepatitis B infection to worsen. Potential side effects Common side effects of entecavir include: Headache Fatigue and extreme tiredness Dizziness Nausea and vomiting Diarrhea Insomnia (difficulty sleeping) Stomach pain More serious, though rare, side effects can include: Lactic acidosis: An excess of lactic acid in the blood, which can be life-threatening. Symptoms include stomach pain, nausea, and trouble breathing. Liver problems: New or worsening liver issues, including liver enlargement. Severe allergic reaction: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms like swelling or a rash. Important warnings Not a cure: Entehep-0.5 does not cure hepatitis B or prevent its transmission to others. Patients should continue practicing safe habits to avoid spreading the virus. HIV co-infection: Patients with both HBV and HIV infections should inform their doctor, as entecavir can cause the HIV infection to develop resistance to certain anti-HIV drugs. Kidney or liver problems: Patients with a history of kidney or liver disease should be cautious and may require a dose adjustment. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Entehep-0.5 is typically avoided by pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol during treatment, as it may increase the risk of liver damage.
