# Tabuvolhep (Tabuvolhep)
## Overview
Tabuvolhep is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
## Primary Indications
Chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Infection.
## Adult Dosing
The recommended dose is 10 mg orally once daily.
## Pediatric Dosing
Dosing in pediatric patients has not been established.
## Dose Adjustments
No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CrCl] ≥ 30 mL/min). Data for severe renal impairment are limited. No dose adjustment is typically needed for hepatic impairment, but caution is advised in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
## Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to tabuvolhep or any excipient.
## Adverse Effects
Common adverse effects include headache, nausea, and fatigue. Less common but serious adverse effects can include lactic acidosis, severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, and emergence of lamivudine-resistant HBV.
## Key Drug Interactions
No significant drug interactions have been established.
## Monitoring
Monitor liver function tests (ALT, AST, bilirubin) regularly. Assess HBV DNA levels periodically. Monitor for signs and symptoms of lactic acidosis or liver decompensation.
## Clinical Pearls
Tabuvolhep should be taken with or without food. Discontinuation of therapy, especially in patients with co-infection of HBV and HIV, may lead to severe HBV exacerbations.
