Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.

Children and adolescents

Taking Entecavir Kabi with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

Taking Entecavir Kabi with food and drinks

In most cases, you can take entecavir with or without food. However, if you have received previous treatment with another medicine that contains lamivudine as the active ingredient, you should consider the following. If you have switched to entecavir because treatment with lamivudine was not successful, you should take entecavir on an empty stomach, once a day. If your liver disease is very advanced, your doctor will also instruct you on taking entecavir on an empty stomach.

An empty stomach means at least 2 hours after and 2 hours before the next meal.

Children and adolescents (from 2 to less than 18 years of age) can take entecavir with or without food.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby. The use of entecavir has not been shown to be safe during pregnancy. Entecavir should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary, as determined by your doctor. It is important that women of childbearing age using entecavir use an effective method of contraception to prevent pregnancy.

You must not breast-feed while taking entecavir. If you are breast-feeding, tell your doctor. It is not known whether entecavir, the active ingredient of this medicine, is excreted in human milk.

This medicine contains lactose and maltodextrin (which contains glucose). If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact them before taking this medicine.

3. How to take Entecavir Kabi

Not all patients need to take the same dose of Entecavir Kabi.

Follow exactly the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

For adultsthe recommended dose is 0.5 mg or 1 mg once a day (by mouth).

Your dose will depend on:

  • whether you have been treated for HBV infection before, and what medicine you received.
  • whether you have kidney problems. Your doctor may prescribe a lower dose or tell you to take it less often than once a day.
  • the condition of your liver.

For children and adolescents(from 2 to less than 18 years of age), your paediatrician will decide on the appropriate dose based on the child's body weight. 0.5 mg tablets are available and an oral solution of entecavir may also be available.

Always take the dose recommended by your doctor to ensure that the medicine is fully effective and to reduce the development of resistance to treatment. Take entecavir for as long as your doctor tells you. Your doctor will tell you when you should stop treatment.

Some patients must take this medicine on an empty stomach (see Entecavir Kabi with food and drinksin Section 2). If your doctor tells you to take this medicine on an empty stomach, an empty stomach means at least 2 hours after and 2 hours before the next meal.

If you take more Entecavir Kabi than you should

If you have taken more entecavir than you should, talk to a doctor or pharmacist immediately. If possible, show them the pack or this leaflet.

If you forget to take Entecavir Kabi

If it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the missed dose. Wait and take the next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
