Patient's question:
I am an HBV carrier with a high viral load. Is it better to take medication for or is it better to take medicine? When should I start?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Of course, taking medicine is the best solution. Moreover, as long as preventive measures are properly implemented, it is absolutely impossible to get infected. The specific details are as follows:After becoming pregnant, it is necessary to implement transmission interruption. Starting from three months before delivery, anesthetize once a month with hepatitis B immune globulin, with a dosage of 200–400 IU per time.
Within 24 hours after the newborn is born, administer one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin intramuscularly. After two weeks, anesthetize another dose. Then, combine the use of hepatitis B vaccine, which can provide 70%–90% protection for the infant.
For daily treatment of hepatitis B patients, the main approach is symptomatic therapy. Patients can take many oral medications, complemented by various vitamins, while paying attention to regular routines and avoiding smoking and alcohol!
