Frequently asked questions

How should I take Lamivir HBV Tablet?

Lamivir HBV Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration advised by the doctor. This medicine can be taken with or without food. However, it is better to take it at a fixed time of the day to avoid the chances of missing a dose.

Is Lamivir HBV Tablet effective?

Lamivir HBV Tablet is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Lamivir HBV Tablet too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

What is drug resistance? Can I develop drug resistance with Lamivir HBV Tablet?

Drug resistance is a state where the medicine which was once effective in treating an infection becomes ineffective. This mainly happens due to the ability acquired by the virus or bacteria to get modified inside the body which affects the overall working of the medicine. Hence, the medicine is no longer able to fight against the virus or bacteria. Generally, drug resistance with Lamivir HBV Tablet is more likely to happen if you take less dose than what is recommended.

How long should I take Lamivir HBV Tablet?

Do not stop taking entecavir without consulting your doctor. Stopping entecavir before treatment may worsen your hepatitis. This can happen during the first several months after you stop taking entecavir. Take the medicine strictly as advised and do not miss any dose.

What if I forget to take a dose of Lamivir HBV Tablet?

If you forget a dose of Lamivir HBV Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose in the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

What if HIV infection co-exists with HBV infection? Will this affect treatment with Lamivir HBV Tablet?

In HBV patients who are diagnosed with HIV, Lamivir HBV Tablet is not recommended until and unless these patients start taking medicines for HIV management. Starting Lamivir HBV Tablet in such patients may cause resistance to the prescribed HIV medicines. Therefore, doctors recommend tests for HIV in patients diagnosed with HBV infection before starting treatment with Lamivir HBV Tablet.

Can Lamivir HBV Tablet cure hepatitis B?

No, Lamivir HBV Tablet does not cure hepatitis B but may improve the condition of the liver. It may decrease the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) present in the body. This is done by limiting the ability of HBV to multiply and further infect new liver cells.

Is Lamivir HBV Tablet safe?

Lamivir HBV Tablet is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
