The side effects of Entecavir should be stated on the label for the medication or supplied by the pharmacy. I copy information I find on the Internet:

Some side effects of entecavir may not be reported. Always consult your doctor or healthcare specialist for medical advice. You may also report side effects to the FDA.
For the Consumer

Applies to entecavir: oral solution, oral tablet

Along with its needed effects, entecavir may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.

Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur while taking entecavir:
Incidence not known

    Abdominal or stomach discomfort
    decreased appetite
    diarrhea
    fast, shallow breathing
    general feeling of discomfort
    muscle pain or cramping
    nausea
    rash
    right upper abdominal or stomach pain and fullness
    shortness of breath
    sleepiness
    unusual tiredness or weakness

Some side effects of entecavir may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Less common

    Headache

Rare

    Acid or sour stomach
    belching
    dizziness
    heartburn
    indigestion
    sleepiness or unusual drowsiness
    sleeplessness
    stomach discomfort, upset, or pain
    trouble sleeping
    vomiting
