Lecture 3 - Antiviral Agent 2 Flashcards
Hep A
RNA virus
Transmission: Fecal oral, sexual
Risks: Endemic travel, MSM, daycare
Hep B
DNA virus
transmission: Parenteral, sexual, vertical
Risks: MSMS, IV drug user, Liver transplant, HC worker,
Hep C
RNA virus, most problematic
Transmission: Parenteral, sexual vertical
Which Hep can cause liver damage?
Hep B and C
Hep A goes away
Hep A treatment
Self limiting, symptomatic treatment
Prevention = hepA vaccine
Hep B treatment
Can be chronic, use chronic antiviral
Prevention = HepB vaccine
Tenofovir & Entecavir have….
rapid activity, relatively safety, clinical experience
Lamivudine is…
relatively safe but more resistance
IFN-alfa isn’t really used due to….
unacceptable safety profile
Adefovir isn’t used much due to…
more resistance and nephrotoxicity
Drugs with low resistance barrier
Lamivudine, Emtricitabine
Drugs with low potency
Adefovir
Lamivudine (A.K.A 3TC) MOA
inhibits HBV DNA polymerase
Lamivudine DI
None clinically significant
Lamivudine Dose adjustment
renal dose/interval adjustment required
Lamivudine ADRs

Mitochondrial toxicity**
Lactic acidosis**
Pancreatitis**
Adefovir MOA
inhibits HBV DNA polymerase
Adefovir ADRS
Nephrotoxicity
Decreased carotene lvls
Adefovir Dose adjustment

renal toxicity
Tenofovir DI
PGP inhibitors / inducers
Tenofovir dosage adjustment
renal dose/interval adjustment required
more for TDF than TAF
TDF and TAF Tenofovir
TDF = Viread = 300mg QD TAF = Vemlidy = 25 mg QD
TAF doesn’t need dose adjustment when….
CrCl > 15 mL/min
Interferon Alfa 2a (Pegasus) MOA
Stimulates HLA Class I protein (immune enhancer)
longest 1/2 life
Interferon Alfa ADR
flue like lose hair CNS = depression, confused, sucidial Hematolgic Endocrine
