Patient's question:
What are the treatment drugs for hepatitis B carriers? I thought this disease has been going on for over two years, and my girlfriend also married me for this. It's very painful.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for hepatitis B carriers is divided into two types: one is antiviral treatment, and the other is liver-protecting treatment. Antiviral treatment primarily involves the use of antiviral drugs, with a long course of treatment, generally lasting more than one year. In rare cases, there may be a rebound effect after stopping medication or the triggering of viral mutation. Due to the long duration, the cost is relatively high, and it is generally recommended for young patients with a high hepatitis B DNA level, indicating very active virus replication. Under ideal conditions, antiviral treatment can keep the hepatitis B virus suppressed at a very low level for a long time without causing any harm to the body. Liver-protecting treatment is primarily aimed at patients with abnormal liver function, such as elevated transaminase levels and jaundice.
