What does it do?

Clebuvir belongs to the class of nucleoside analogs. It is primarily used to suppress intrahepatic viral replication in patients with chronic hepatitis B. This ingredient reduces liver damage by interfering with the replication of viral genetic material.

Clebuvir disrupts the process by which the virus replicates its own DNA. This leads to a decrease in viral load and a reduction in liver cell damage, thereby improving liver function.
