Dosage Guide

Quick Answer

The dose of Envir (Entecavir) is decided by your doctor based on your hepatitis B diagnosis and lab results, and it is usually taken once daily as part of long-term therapy. Never change or stop the dose on your own — stopping abruptly can trigger a serious hepatitis flare. Always follow your doctor's exact instructions.

Why You Must Never Stop Envir Suddenly

Entecavir is long-term suppressive therapy, not a short course. Stopping Envir abruptly, without your doctor's supervision, can cause a severe flare-up of hepatitis B and, in serious cases, liver failure. If you want to stop or change this medicine for any reason, speak to your doctor first — do not decide on your own.
