Baraclude Information

Baraclude (Entecavir) is used to treat chronic hepatitis B infection in children 2 years and above and adults with evidence of active hepatitis B virus replication and evidence of liver damage. It is typically used in individuals whose liver is damaged but still functions properly (compensated liver disease) and in people whose liver is damaged and does not function properly (decompensated liver disease). Chronic hepatitis B is a long-lasting infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). This virus attacks the liver and can lead to serious complications such as cirrhosis, liver failure, or hepatocellular carcinoma if not controlled. The active ingredient is entecavir, which belongs to a class of antiviral drugs known as nucleoside analogues. Entecavir works by interfering with HBV's ability to replicate. It does this by competing with the natural building blocks of viral DNA and by blocking the activity of the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase, which the virus uses to make new copies of itself. This action reduces HBV DNA levels in the blood and decreases the risk of long-term liver damage. Hepatitis B infection is not curable; however, Baraclude helps patients maintain better liver function and improves overall prognosis when taken consistently as part of long-term management. While drug resistance is a concern with most antiviral therapies that are used long-term, entecavir has what's considered a high genetic barrier to resistance in patients who haven't previously been treated with similar drugs. It means that it takes multiple genetic mutations in the virus for it to develop resistance, making it a less frequent occurrence.
