Heptovir (Lamivudine) is an antiviral medication used to treat chronic hepatitis B infection. It belongs to the class of medications known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIS). Lamivudine works by inhibiting the hepatitis B virus's ability to replicate its DNA, effectively slowing down the progression of the viral infection and reducing liver damage. It does not cure hepatitis B infection but helps manage the disease and minimize liver damage.
