Entecavir is taken orally as a tablet, usually once daily on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours before or after a meal. The dosage may vary depending on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment. It is important to take entecavir exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking entecavir without consulting your doctor.

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
Precautions and warnings for entecavir:
