About Entehep 1 Tablet 3
Entehep 1 Tablet 3 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 1 Tablet 3 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.
Take Entehep 1 Tablet 3 as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Entehep 1 Tablet 3 for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

If you are allergic to Entehep 1 Tablet 3 or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before taking Entehep 1 Tablet 3. It is recommended to use effective contraceptive methods while using Entehep 1 Tablet 3 to avoid pregnancy. Entehep 1 Tablet 3 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age.
