Patient's question:
Is it okay to stop taking the hepatitis B antiviral medication after taking it for three days? The viral load is 10^8.Doctor's answer:
Once antiviral treatment for hepatitis B has begun, it should not be stopped easily. Stopping medication on your own can trigger a rebound of HBV DNA, which can worsen liver damage. It's actually not that to have hepatitis B; patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high. It is recommended to seek treatment at and maintaining a good mindset is very important.
