Composition:
Adefovir Dipivoxil……..10mg
Approved colours used
Indications :
Adevera®
(adefovir dipivoxil) is a prescription medicine used
to treat chronic infection with H - B
virus (HBV)
in adults. Adevera does not cure chronic
Hepatitis B, and it does
not reduce the risk of
spreading Hepatitis B to others. An antiviral
medicine, Adevera helps stop H - B virus (HBV) from
multiplying by blocking HBV DNA polymerase, an
enzyme that is necessary for the replication of the
virus in
the body.
Description:
Adefovir works by blocking reverse transcriptase, an
enzyme that is crucial for the hepatitis B vvirus (HBV)
to reproduce in the body. It is approved for the
treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adults with
evidence of active viral replication and either
evidence of persistent elevations in serum
aminotransferase (primarily ALT) or histologically
active disease. Adefovir is a failed treatment for
HIV due to the severity and frequency of kidney
toxicity when dosed at 60 or 120 mg. However, trials
have found the 10 mg dose of adefovir to be an
effective and safe treatment for HBV.The main
benefit of adefovir over lamivudine (the first NRTI
approved for the treatment of hepatitis B) is that
it takes a much longer period of time before the
virus develops resistance to it.
Dosage:
Adevera®
(adefovir dipivoxil) is provided as a 10 mg tablet
that you take once a day by mouth. Adevera can be
taken with or without food. If you have or develop
kidney problems, your doctor may tell you to take
the pill on a different schedule.
OVERDOSE
Doses of adefovir dipivoxil 500 mg daily for 2 weeks
and 250 mg daily for 12 weeks have been associated
with gastrointestinal side effects effects. If
overdose occurs the patient occurs the patients must
be monitored for evidence of toxicity, and standard
supportive treatment applied as necessary.
Following a 10 mg single dose of of HEPSERA, a
four-hour hemidialysis session removed approximately
35% of the adefovir dose.
