Patient's question:
Hepatitis B positive patients taking Adefovir experience elevated liver function tests upon discontinuation. They have been on the medication for four to five years. Do they need to take it for the rest of their lives?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, it is well known that Western medicine has many side effects on the human body, especially for liver disease patients. This is because the liver's detoxification function is poor, on the one hand, antiviral drugs can lead to drug dependence, on the other hand, the drugs themselves are also toxic to the liver. As a result, many hepatitis B patients find it difficult to stop taking medication after taking it, and over time, this forms a vicious cycle. Additionally, there is a need to remind you that the hepatitis B virus has the ability to mutate and develop drug resistance, which may have already occurred with certain drugs.
