X-Vir 0.5 mg Tablet (Entecavir) – Prescription Antiviral Medicine for Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

X-Vir 0.5 mg Tablet is a prescription antiviral medicine containing Entecavir 0.5 mg, an active ingredient used for the management of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It belongs to a class of medicines called nucleoside analogues and works by blocking the replication process of the hepatitis B virus, helping to reduce viral activity and support the protection of liver health. The medicine should only be used under medical supervision, as the appropriate dose depends on liver condition, kidney function, treatment history, and overall patient health.

X-Vir 0.5 mg Tablet is commonly prescribed for adults and eligible pediatric patients with chronic hepatitis B infection, especially those with evidence of active viral replication and liver inflammation. While it helps control hepatitis B virus levels, it does not completely eliminate the virus from the body. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is important during treatment.
