Use in pediatric patient: Safety and effectiveness of Entecavir in pediatric patients below the age of 16 years have not been established.
Use in geriatric patient: Entecavir is significantly excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.
Dose adjustment in renal impairment: Dose adjustment is recommended for patients with CrCl <50 ml/min including patients on hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) as shown in the following table.
CrCl ≥50 ml/min: 0.5 mg every 24 hours
CrCl 30 to <50 ml/min: 0.5 mg every 48 hours
CrCl 10 to <30 ml/min: 0.5 mg every 72 hours
CrCl <10 ml/min or Hemodialysis or CAPD: 0.5 mg every 7 days
