X-Vir (Entecavir) is used as an antiviral treatment for patients suffering from a chronic hepatitis B infection. It is classified as a nucleoside analog, and it works by stopping the spread of the virus. Because it can inhibit an enzyme called viral DNA polymerase, it is able to prevent the spread and proliferation of the virus. This can help to reduce the overall amount of the virus present in the body, while also helping to lessen damage to the liver.

X-Vir (Entecavir) is administered orally. It comes as either 0.5mg or 1mg strength tablets. Your physician will be responsible for deciding the right dosage. Adults treating hepatitis B who are deemed to be nucleoside therapy naive may be directed to take 0.5mg once per day. However, some patients may be directed to take 1mg per day (usually in cases of mutations of the virus that are resistance to lamivudine or otherwise difficult to treat). Patients must strictly comply with the instructions given by their physician.

The use of X-Vir (Entecavir) could cause side effects. Tell the physician providing medical care if this happens. Some possible examples are given here:

• Diarrhea
• Headaches
• Digestive discomfort
• Sleepy or fatigued feeling
• Nausea, possibly resulting in vomiting

Although the majority of side effects caused by this medicine are less serious in nature, there is a possibility that some patients will be affected by reactions which are significantly more serious. You must attend the hospital or see your physician straight away if you are affected by coldness, persistent vomiting, feeling weak or any other serious side effects not mentioned here.

Serious conditions including hepatomegaly and lactic acidosis are known to have occurred in some patients treated with X-Vir (Entecavir) for their condition. Discuss this with your physician before starting therapy.

This medication will not cure the infection, and you will need continuous medical treatment in order to manage your condition.

Ribahep ( Ribavirin)

Brand name: Ribahep

Active Ingeridents(Generic Name) : Ribavirin

Company Name: Zydus heptiza

Package: 140 Capsules/Bottle

Strength : 200mg

Indication:

Ribahep ( Ribavirin) is used in combination with other antiviral medications to treat chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis C, a viral infection of the liver. Chronic hepatitis C infection can cause serious liver problems such as scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer. Ribahep ( Ribavirin) works by reducing the amount of hepatitis C virus in your body, which may help your liver recover.

Mechanism of action:

Ribahep ( Ribavirin) is readily phosphorylated intracellularly by adenosine kinase to Ribahep ( Ribavirin) mono-, di-, and triphosphate metabolites. Ribahep ( Ribavirin) triphosphate (RTP) is a potent competitive inhibitor of inosine monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase, viral RNA polymerase and messenger RNA (mRNA) guanylyltransferase (viral) and can be incorporated into RNA in RNA viral species.. Guanylyltranserase inhibition stops the capping of mRNA. These diverse effects result in a marked reduction of intracellular guanosine triphosphate (GTP) pools and inhibition of viral RNA and protein synthesis. Ribahep ( Ribavirin) is also incorporated into the viral genome causing lethal mutagenesis and a subsequent decrease in specific viral infectivity.

Dosage and Administration:

Use Ribahep ( Ribavirin) as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

· Ribahep ( Ribavirin) comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Ribahep ( Ribavirin) refilled.

Chronic hepatitis C infection can cause serious liver problems such as scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer.Daclatasvir Price, Daclatasvir Cost.Daclatasvir Dose.

Mechanism of action:

The dimeric symmetry of these compounds suggests that they act on a dimer of NS5A, which is also consistent with the presence of dimers in crystals of NS5A domain 1 from genotype 1b. Genotype 1a HCV is less potently affected by these compounds and resistance mutations have a greater effect than in the 1b genotypes. We have obtained crystals of domain 1 of the important 1a NS5A homologue and intriguingly, our X-ray crystal structure reveals two new dimeric forms of this domain. Furthermore, the high solvent content (75%) makes it ideal for ligand-soaking. Daclatasvir (DCV) shows twofold symmetry suggesting NS5A dimers may be of physiological importance and serve as potential binding sites for DCV. These dimers also allow for new conformations of a NS5A expansive network which could explain its operation on the membranous web. Additionally, sulfates bound in the crystal structure may provide evidence for the previously proposed RNA binding groove, or explain regulation of NS5A domain 2 and 3 function and phosphorylation.

Dosage and Administration:

Take daclatasvir exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to.

· Do not change your dose unless your healthcare provider tells you to.

· Do not stop taking daclatasvir without first talking with your healthcare provider.

· Take daclatasvir 1 time each day with or without food.

The recommended usage of daclatasvir to treat chronic hepatitis C virus is 60 mg taken orally once daily with or without food in combination with sofosbuvir. The recommended treatment duration is 12 weeks.

Side effects:

Tiredness, headache, nausea, or diarrhea may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Precaution: Before taking daclatasvir, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
