What is Epivir HBV?

Epivir HBV is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. Epivir-HBV is a synthetic nucleoside analogue used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection associated with evidence of hepatitis B viral replication and active liver inflammation. HIV-1 resistance may occur in chronic hepatitis B-infected patients with unrecognized or untreated HIV-1 infection.

Epivir-HBV has not been evaluated in patients co-infected with HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), or hepatitis delta virus. Epivir HBV is not recommended for the treatment of HIV-1 infection because the lamivudine dosage in Epivir HBV is inappropriate for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

Epivir tablets are a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTIs) indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) infection.

What doses of Epivir HBV are available?

Epivir HBV is available in tablet and oral solution formulation, in the following doses: 100 mg, and 5 mg per mL (does not require reconstitution).

Counseling and testing should be offered before and during treatment because of the risk of resistant HIV-1 and the limitation of treatment options if Epivir HBV is prescribed to treat chronic hepatitis B infection in a patient who has unrecognized HIV-1 infection or becomes infected with HIV-1 infection during treatment.

The recommended oral dosage of Epivir HBV in adults is 100 mg once daily. The recommended oral dose of lamivudine for pediatric patients aged 2 to 17 years is 3 mg per kg once daily up to a maximum daily dosage of 100 mg. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Store Epivir HBV tablets and oral solution at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).

Epivir-HBV has black box warnings for severe exacerbations of hepatitis with drug discontinuation, lactic acidosis, and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis.

Please read the patient information supplied and always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
