CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Entecavir is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus
infection in adults 16 years or older with
evidence of active liver inflammation.
This indication is based on histologic, virologic, biochemical and
serological responses in nucleoside-
treatment naïve and lamivudine-resistant adult patients with
HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative chronic
HBV infection with compensated liver disease.
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE
Entecavir should be taken orally, on an empty stomach (at least 2
hours after a meal and at least 2 hours before
the next meal).
The recommended oral dose of entecavir in adults and adolescents older
than 16 years is 0.5 mg once daily.
For lamivudine-refractory patients [history of hepatitis B viremia
while receiving lamivudine therapy or
known lamivudine resistance (LVD
R
commonly called YMDD mutations)], the recommended dose is 1 mg
once daily.
RENAL IMPAIRMENT
In patients with renal impairment, the apparent oral clearance of
entecavir decreased as creatinine clearance
decreased (see section 5.1 PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES: Special
Populations). Dosage adjustment
of entecavir is recommended for patients with creatinine clearance <50
mL/min, including patients on
haemodialysis or
