Hepatitis B double dose by mistake

[cyclonepyro92]

Hi, i might have take 2 x 0.5mg baraclude entecavir pills by mistake this morning. Will there be any side effects or concerns which should be taken note of?

Is there any problem if im not taking etv 0,5 at same hour? I mean, sometimes i took it 1-2 h earlier, other times 1-3 h later than usual.

No problems at all, although doctor will recommend u to take at the same time daily. I have been varying my medicine intake timing due to travelling across different time zones. As long as u take it 1 hr before food, and 2hr after food, u will be fine

No, there should be no concerns. Just continue with your regular dosage. Some patients take 2x0.5mg per day of Entecavir  for their treatment (in case of previous experience with Lamivudine).

I am not a doctor.

Thanks Stephen for your kind reply. Just thinking if there is a chance of resistance or any adverse effects due to overdosage at 2X0.5mg and reverting back to the same dosage of 1X0.5mg per day.
