ABOUT X-VIR Tablets

X-VIR is an antiviral that belongs to a class of drugs known
as hepatitis B virus nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Entecavir is an antiviral medication.
Entecavir prevents certain virus cells from multiplying in your body. It
works by blocking the DNA synthesis in hepatitis B virus, a process essential
for the virus to grow and multiply. Entecavir thus stops the virus from
spreading in the body. It does not prevent spread of HBV infections to other
people.

MEDICINALUSES

X-VIR is used to treat long-term hepatitis B infection.
Hepatitis B is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus.
Long-term infection can cause liver damage, rarely liver cancer, and liver
failure. Entecavir helps to decrease the amount of hepatitis B virus in your
body.

Entecavir
is used to treat long-term infection of the liver (hepatitis) caused by
hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is also used to prevent HBV reinfection after liver
transplant and to treat HIV patients infected with HBV. Entecavir can be used
in individuals with damaged liver that still functions properly (compensated
liver disease) and in individuals with damaged liver that does not function
properly (decompensate liver disease).
