Adefovir

Adefovir is a prescription medicine used to treat (chronic) infections with hepatitis B virus.

See Telbivudine and Adefovir

Antiviral drug

Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used for treating viral infections. Telbivudine and Antiviral drug are Antiviral drugs.

See Telbivudine and Antiviral drug

Clinical trial

Clinical trials are prospective biomedical or behavioral research studies on human participants designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioral interventions, including new treatments (such as novel vaccines, drugs, dietary choices, dietary supplements, and medical devices) and known interventions that warrant further study and comparison.

See Telbivudine and Clinical trial

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) that affects the liver; it is a type of viral hepatitis.

See Telbivudine and Hepatitis B

In vitro

In vitro (meaning in glass, or in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

See Telbivudine and In vitro

Isoleucine

Isoleucine (symbol Ile or I) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

See Telbivudine and Isoleucine

Kidney

In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.

See Telbivudine and Kidney

Lamivudine

Lamivudine, commonly called 3TC, is an antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. Telbivudine and Lamivudine are Nucleosides.

See Telbivudine and Lamivudine

Methionine

Methionine (symbol Met or M) is an essential amino acid in humans.

See Telbivudine and Methionine

Myopathy

In medicine, myopathy is a disease of the muscle in which the muscle fibers do not function properly.

See Telbivudine and Myopathy

Novartis

Novartis AG is a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical corporation based in Basel, Switzerland.

See Telbivudine and Novartis

Oral administration

| name.

See Telbivudine and Oral administration

Peripheral neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy, often shortened to neuropathy, refers to damage or disease affecting the nerves.

See Telbivudine and Peripheral neuropathy

Reverse transcriptase

A reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme used to convert RNA genome to DNA, a process termed reverse transcription.

See Telbivudine and Reverse transcriptase

Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies

Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) is a program of the US Food and Drug Administration for the monitoring of medications with a high potential for serious adverse effects.

See Telbivudine and Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies

Statistical significance

In statistical hypothesis testing, a result has statistical significance when a result at least as "extreme" would be very infrequent if the null hypothesis were true.

See Telbivudine and Statistical significance

Stereoisomerism

In stereochemistry, stereoisomerism, or spatial isomerism, is a form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

See Telbivudine and Stereoisomerism

Tenofovir disoproxil

Tenofovir disoproxil, sold under the brand name Viread among others, is a medication used to treat chronic hepatitis B and to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS.

See Telbivudine and Tenofovir disoproxil

Thymidine

Thymidine (symbol dT or dThd), also known as deoxythymidine, deoxyribosylthymine, or thymine deoxyriboside, is a pyrimidine deoxynucleoside. Telbivudine and Thymidine are Nucleosides and Pyrimidinediones.

See Telbivudine and Thymidine
