Brief Answer:
Further details needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Entaliv (Entecavir) 0.5mg is an antiviral. I do not suppose that you need to use it again. In any case it is meaningless to take this medicine for 2 years. I would request you to tell me the reason for which you want to take this medicine again. In case you do, I would be happy to guide you further.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Can be taken but evaluation of present scenario should be done first

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, Entaliv (Entecavir) 0.5mg can be taken again. However, I would recommend visiting a doctor and to get the present situation evaluated first. It is only based on the present scenario that the medication plans should be made.
