Answer
Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: “Can I take Entecavir negative if I have hepatitis B virus? ” as follows:
Entecavir is an oral Cyclopentyl Guanosine analogue used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults with evidence of active viral replication and evidence of persistent elevations in serum aminotransferases or histologically active disease. Entecavir treatment in patients with hepatitis B antigen (HBeAg) positive or chronic HBV infection has been shown to reduce HBV DNA levels.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
