About Entehep 0.5 Tablet
Entehep 0.5 Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called antivirals 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 0.5 Tablet contains Entecavir, an antiviral drug that works by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase enzyme action in the liver cells that 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.
