About this active substance

Adefovir dipivoxil is an antiviral medication used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. It works by inhibiting the replication of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), thereby reducing viral load and the progression of liver disease.

It is administered as oral tablets, usually once daily, as directed by a doctor. Adefovir dipivoxil is effective in reducing liver inflammation and preventing complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.

Side effects may include headaches, nausea, weakness, or impaired kidney function. Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function is essential during treatment.

Patients should strictly follow their doctor's recommendations and not discontinue treatment without medical advice, as this may worsen the disease.
