Entecavir is an antiviral medication used to treat chronic (long-term) infection by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in adults.
Entecavir may be used in patients whose liver is damaged but still functioning properly (compensated liver disease) and in patients whose liver is damaged and not functioning properly (decompensated liver disease).
Entecavir is also used to treat chronic (long-term) infection by HBV in children and adolescents from 2 years to less than 18 years.
Entecavir may be used in children whose liver is damaged but still functioning properly (compensated liver disease).
Hepatitis B infection can damage the liver. Entecavir reduces the amount of virus in the body and improves liver condition.

2. What you need to know before starting Entecavir Teva
Do not take Entecavir Teva
- if you are allergicto entecavir or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take entecavir
- if you have ever had problems with your kidneys, inform your doctor. This is important because entecavir is eliminated from the body through the kidneys and it may be necessary to adjust your dose or treatment schedule.
- do not stop taking entecavir without consulting your doctor,as your hepatitis may worsen if you interrupt treatment. When you stop taking entecavir, your doctor will continue to monitor you and perform blood tests for several months.
- ask your doctor if your liver is functioning properlyand if not, about the possible effects that your treatment with entecavir may have.
- if you are also infected with HIV(human immunodeficiency virus), make sure to inform your doctor. Do not take entecavir for the treatment of your hepatitis B infection unless you are also taking medications for the treatment of HIV infection, as otherwise, the effectiveness of future HIV treatments may be reduced. Entecavir will not control your HIV infection.
- taking Entecavir will not prevent you from infecting others with the hepatitis B virus (HBV)through sexual contact or bodily fluids (including blood contamination). Therefore, it is essential to take the necessary precautions to prevent others from becoming infected with HBV. There is a vaccine to protect individuals at risk of HBV infection.
- Entecavir belongs to a class of medicines that can cause lactic acidosis(excess lactic acid in your blood) and liver enlargement. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may indicate the development of lactic acidosis. In some cases, this rare but serious side effect has been fatal. Lactic acidosis occurs more frequently in women, especially those who are overweight. Your doctor will monitor you periodically while you are taking this medicine.
- if you have received previous treatment for chronic hepatitis B, please inform your doctor.
Children and adolescents
Entecavir should not be used in children under 2 years of age or weighing less than 32.6 kg.
Entecavir Teva with other medicines
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medicine.
Entecavir Teva with food and drinks
In most cases, you can take entecavir with or without food. However, if you have received previous treatment with another medicine containing lamivudine as the active ingredient, consider the following. If you have switched to entecavir because lamivudine treatment was unsuccessful, take entecavir on an empty stomach, once a day. If your liver disease is advanced, your doctor will also instruct you on taking entecavir on an empty stomach.
