Viradin Tablet 100 mg contains Lamivudine, an antiviral medicine used for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It helps reduce the multiplication of the hepatitis B virus in the body, thereby decreasing liver inflammation and lowering the risk of liver damage, cirrhosis, and liver failure associated with long-term HBV infection.

Lamivudine belongs to a class of medicines known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works by blocking the viral DNA replication process that the hepatitis B virus needs to multiply. By suppressing viral replication, Viradin Tablet helps improve liver function and may reduce the progression of chronic liver disease.

Chronic hepatitis B is a long-term infection that can silently damage the liver over many years. Many patients may not experience symptoms initially, but untreated infection can eventually lead to serious complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Regular treatment with antiviral medicines like Lamivudine can help control the disease and improve long-term outcomes.

Viradin Tablet is generally prescribed for patients with evidence of active viral replication and liver inflammation. Treatment duration may vary depending on the patient’s viral load, liver enzyme levels, and response to therapy. Regular monitoring of liver function and HBV DNA levels is important during treatment.

This medicine should only be used under the supervision of a registered physician experienced in the management of chronic hepatitis B infection.
