2. What you need to know before starting Entecavir Aurovitas
Do not take Entecavir Aurovitas
•If you areallergicto entecavir or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor orpharmacist before starting to take Entecavir Aurovitas:
•If you have ever had problems with your kidneys, inform your doctor. This is important because entecavir is eliminated from the body through the kidneys and it may be necessary to adjust your dose or treatment regimen.
•Do not stop taking entecavir without consulting your doctor, as your hepatitis may worsen by interrupting treatment. When your treatment with entecavir is interrupted, your doctor will continue to monitor you and perform blood tests for several months.
•Ask your doctor if your liver is functioning properlyand if not, about the possible effects that your treatment with entecavir could have.
•If you are also infected with HIV(human immunodeficiency virus), make sure to inform your doctor. You should not take entecavir for the treatment of your hepatitis B infection unless you are also taking medications for the treatment of HIV infection, as otherwise, the effectiveness of future HIV treatments could be reduced. Entecavir will not control your HIV infection.
•Taking entecavir will not prevent you from infecting others with the hepatitis B virus (HBV)through sexual contact or bodily fluids (including blood contamination). Therefore, it is essential to take the necessary precautions to prevent others from becoming infected with HBV. There is a vaccine to protect individuals at risk of HBV infection.
•Entecavir belongs to a class of medications that can cause lactic acidosis(excess of lactic acid in your blood) and liver enlargement. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may indicate the development of lactic acidosis. In some cases, this rare but severe side effect has been fatal. Lactic acidosis occurs more frequently in women, especially those who are overweight. Your doctor will monitor you periodically while you are taking entecavir.
•If you have received previous treatment for chronic hepatitis B, inform your doctor.
Children and adolescents
Entecavir should not be used in children under 2 years of age or weighing less than 10 kg.
Other medications and Entecavir Aurovitas
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.
Entecavir Aurovitas with food and drinks
In most cases, you can take entecavir with or without food. However, if you have received previous treatment with another medication containing lamivudine as the active ingredient, consider the following. If you have switched to entecavir because lamivudine treatment was unsuccessful, take entecavir on an empty stomach, once a day. If your liver disease is advanced, your doctor will also instruct you on taking entecavir on an empty stomach.
Empty stomach means at least 2 hours after and 2 hours before the next meal.
Children and adolescents (2 to less than 18 years of age) can take entecavir with or without food.

It is essential that women of childbearing age who are being treated with entecavir use an effective contraceptive method to avoid becoming pregnant.
