ENTEHEP 1MG TABLET

ENTEHEP 1MG TABLET is used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Hepatitis B is a severe liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is highly contagious (spreads from one person to another) and spreads through intimate contact with the infected person, direct contact with infected blood, being pricked with a contaminated needle, using a razor or any other personal items with leftovers of infected fluid or even transfer from mother to baby during birth.

ENTEHEP 1MG TABLET contains Entecavir, an antiviral drug that works by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase enzyme action in the liver cells, which is essential for the virus to multiply. Thereby, it stops the virus from making new viruses and reduces the amount of hepatitis B virus in the body.

It is highly contagious (spreads from one person to another) and spreads through intimate contact with the infected person, direct contact with infected blood, being pricked with a contaminated needle, using a razor or any other personal items with leftovers of infected fluid or even transfer from mother to baby during birth. The virus can live for up to 7 days outside the body. Chronic hepatitis B develops slowly, and the symptoms may not be clear unless complications develop. The symptoms of hepatitis B may appear after 3 months of exposure to the virus and can last for 2 to 12 weeks. The complications of chronic hepatitis B include liver failure, liver cancer or liver cirrhosis (scarring). Hepatitis B can be prevented by taking the vaccination.
