Basic Information On Tyzeka
Tyzeka is an antiviral drug which belongs to the class of medicines called “thymidine nucleoside analogue”. It is used to treat chronic hepatitis B in adult patients who either have elevations in serum aminotransferases (ALT or AST) or histologically active disease. It is a synthetic thymidine nucleoside analogue with activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase. It functions by preventing the viral cells from growing in the body and infecting new liver cells. Introducing Tyzeka drug into viral DNA causes DNA chain termination. This stops HBV multiplication. This medicine should not be used for patients under 16 years of age. It does not cure hepatitis B and is used after performing biochemical, serologic and histologic tests.
Precautions / Side Effects Of Tyzeka
Tyzeka contains Telbivudine. It can cause adverse side effects like numb or cold feeling in arms and legs, muscle pain or weakness, stomach pain, trouble breathing, nausea with vomiting, dizziness, fast or uneven heart rate, and feeling very weak or tired. Such symptoms should be urgently reported to your doctor, as these may indicate a life threatening disorder known as lactic acidosis. You would need to adjust your dose of brand or generic Tyzeka if you have received a liver transplant, suffer from HIV or AIDS, and have a kidney disease or other types of hepatitis (C or D).
Telbivudine would not prevent the hepatitis B infection from passing on to others. You should avoid sharing your toothbrushes, razors and needles. You should discuss with your doctor about methods of having safe sex, as having unprotected sex can transmit hepatitis infection. Brand or generic Tyzeka can cause myopathy along with increases in creatine kinase (CK) values. You should be under medical supervision as you may develop acute exacerbations of hepatitis B.
Tyzeka Dosage
The recommended Tyzeka dosage for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in patients over 16 years of age is 600 mg taken once a day. You should take it orally, with or without food. In case you have trouble swallowing the tablets, you may also take the oral 30 ml solution. Tyzeka dosage for patients with renal impairment depends on their creatinine clearance. While patients with creatinine clearance greater than 50 ml/min can take the normal 30 ml daily dose, patients with creatinine clearance 30-49 ml/min should take 20 ml of Tyzeka once daily. Patients with creatinine clearance less than 20 ml/min need a daily dose of 10mL/min.
