Hepaid 100mg Tablet

Hepaid 100mg Tablet, made by Well & Well, is an antiviral medicine. Its active ingredient is Lamivudine 100mg, and it is used for chronic hepatitis B and HIV. Pack size: 10s tablet.

Uses of Hepaid 100mg Tablet

Hepaid 100mg Tablet is used to treat chronic hepatitis B in adults, helping to keep the virus under control and reduce ongoing liver damage. Used together with other antiretroviral medicines, it is also a core part of treatment for HIV infection in adults and children. It does not cure either infection, but taken every day it keeps the amount of virus in the blood low.

How Hepaid 100mg Tablet works

Lamivudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. The virus mistakenly uses it as a building block when copying its genetic material, which brings the copying process to a halt. This stops both HIV and hepatitis B from multiplying.

Possible side effects

Many people take Hepaid 100mg Tablet with few side effects. When they occur, they may include:

• Headache
• Tiredness
• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Trouble sleeping

Do not stop it suddenly, as hepatitis can flare up; report yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or severe stomach pain straight away. Severe stomach pain with vomiting can also be a sign of pancreatitis and needs urgent attention.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it every day as prescribed and do not stop or skip doses without your doctor’s advice.
• Your doctor will check for HIV before treating hepatitis B with it, because using it alone in untreated HIV can lead to resistance.
• Regular blood tests are needed to check liver function, virus levels and kidney function.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, as the dose may need adjusting.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss the best plan with your doctor rather than stopping treatment on your own.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
