View company portfolio →What Aptivir (Entecavir) is used for
Entecavir is an antiviral medicine for long-lasting (chronic) hepatitis B, a virus that attacks the liver. It belongs to a group called nucleoside analogues. It stops the virus from copying itself in the liver, so the amount of virus in the body goes down and the liver can get healthier. It controls the virus but usually does not cure it. WHO recommends entecavir as one of two main medicines for chronic hepatitis B, because it works well, has few side effects and the virus rarely becomes resistant to it. Treatment is started and checked by a hospital liver (hepatology) specialist team, and most people need it for a long time, often for life.
- Chronic hepatitis B infection in adults, including people whose liver is still working well and people whose liver is badly damaged and not working properly
- Chronic hepatitis B in children and teenagers aged 2 years and older whose liver is still working well, under specialist care
- Lowering the amount of hepatitis B virus in the blood so that liver damage slows down or improves
