Sebivo How to Take

Telbivudine belongs to a group of medications known as antivirals. It is used to treat people with chronic hepatitis B infection who also have active liver inflammation.

It works by stopping the hepatitis B virus from reproducing. There is no cure for hepatitis B infection - telbivudine decreases the amount of hepatitis B virus in the body and reduces the damage done to the liver by the hepatitis B virus.

Sebivo may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Sebivo may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here.
