VIR 0.5 Tablet contains Entecavir, an antiviral medicine primarily used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It works by preventing the virus from multiplying inside the body, helping to reduce viral activity and limit liver damage. Although antiviral medicines help control the infection, they do not completely cure hepatitis B. Regular use as prescribed can improve long-term liver health and reduce the risk of complications.
Entecavir is a selective antiviral agent that blocks the activity of HBV DNA polymerase, an enzyme required for viral replication. By inhibiting viral DNA synthesis, it prevents the virus from producing new copies and helps control the infection.
- Take VIR 0.5 on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
- Do not stop treatment without consulting your doctor, as hepatitis B may worsen after discontinuation.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments and blood tests.
- Avoid alcohol to help protect your liver.
- Continue treatment exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well.
