Authors' recommendations:
Entecavir (Baraclude®) is recommended as an option for use within NHS Wales for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection in adults with decompensated liver disease. Oral solution should only be used in circumstances where the tablet form is not a clinical option.
Treatment should normally be initiated following dialogue with a specialist liver unit.
AWMSG is of the opinion that entecavir (Baraclude®) is suitable for specialist only prescribing within NHS Wales for the above indication.
