Baraclude (generic Entecavir) is an antiviral medication that is commonly used for the treatment of Hepatitis B especially with patients who have liver damage. This medication is not limited to treating hepatitis B, but it is also used for the treatment of HIV/AIDS and HBV infection. Baraclude is a reverse transcript inhibitor whose main function is to prevent the hepatitis B virus from multiplying, thus reducing the hepatitis B virus in the body. Although entecavir reduces the hepatitis B virus, it is not a cure for the disease. Entecavir doesn’t prevent liver damage or reduces the risk of developing liver cancer.
