Epivir HBV (active ingredient: lamivudine) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection: Epivir HBV is used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus infection in adults and pediatric patients. It helps to reduce the amount of hepatitis B virus in the body, decrease liver inflammation, and improve liver function.

Epivir HBV belongs to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), which work by interfering with the replication of the hepatitis B virus, thereby controlling the infection.

Lamivudine is typically taken once or twice a day in tablet form, with or without food, as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Carefully follow the instructions on your prescription label and ask your healthcare provider to clarify any questions you may have. Never take more or less of lamivudine than directed by your doctor.

While lamivudine can help manage and control HIV and hepatitis B, it is not a cure for either condition. You should continue taking lamivudine even if you feel well, and never stop taking it without first discussing it with your healthcare provider. If you miss a dose of lamivudine or need more, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Stopping or missing doses of lamivudine could make it more difficult to effectively treat your condition.

  • Exacerbations of Hepatitis B: Discontinuation of Epivir HBV can cause severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B in patients co-infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1). Therefore, patients should be closely monitored for several months after stopping Epivir HBV.
  • Risk of Lactic Acidosis: Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs alone or in combination with antiretrovirals.
  • Risk of HIV-1 Resistance: Epivir HBV should not be used for the treatment of HIV-1 infection because the dose of lamivudine in Epivir HBV is not sufficient to treat HIV-1 infection.
  • Use with Sorbitol: When possible, avoid concomitant use of sorbitol-containing medicines with lamivudine, which may interfere with the absorption of the medication.
  • Risk of Hepatic Decompensation: Discontinuation of Epivir HBV may lead to severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B associated with liver decompensation and/or liver failure.
  • Use in Pregnant Women: The safety of Epivir HBV in pregnant women has not been established. Therefore, pregnant women should use Epivir HBV only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
  • Use in Breastfeeding Women: It is not known whether lamivudine is excreted in human milk. Therefore, caution should be exercised when Epivir HBV is administered to a nursing woman.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Epivir HBV?

You should talk to your doctor about drinking alcohol while taking Epivir HBV. Drinking alcohol can cause liver damage, and people with chronic hepatitis B are at higher risk of liver damage.

Can Epivir HBV interact with other medications?

Yes, Epivir HBV can interact with other medications, including other medications used to treat HIV or hepatitis B. Always tell your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

How long is Epivir HBV treatment usually continued for?

The length of Epivir HBV treatment can vary depending on individual factors like the severity of the infection and the patient’s response to treatment. Your doctor will be able to advise you on how long you should continue taking the medication.

Can Epivir HBV be used in children?

Yes, Epivir HBV may be used to treat chronic hepatitis B in children aged 2 to 17 years old. The recommended dose for children is based on their weight.
