Q. What is drug resistance? Can I develop drug resistance with Telbihep 600mg 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.

Generally, drug resistance with Telbihep 600mg Tablet is more likely to happen if you take less dose than what is recommended.
