Entecashiv 1mg Tablet

Entecashiv 1mg Tablet is an antiviral medicine from the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) class, containing entecavir as the active ingredient. It is used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which occurs when the immune system fails to clear the virus from the liver within six months of initial infection. Before beginning treatment, inform your doctor of any existing skin conditions, history of anaemia, seizures, or liver or kidney disease. Regular blood tests are important to monitor blood counts and liver function during use. These tests allow your healthcare provider to assess your body's response to the medication and identify any potential side effects or complications early. Alcohol should be avoided completely, as it may increase the risk of liver damage. This medication may cause lactic acidosis—a rare but serious adverse effect, particularly in obese women.
