Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with hepatitis last year, but because the family conditions were not very accommodating, I didn't go to a big hospital for follow-up. The doctor at the small hospital gave me many Ban Zhi Huang capsules. I haven't taken the medicine yet, and I want to know about its effectiveness.What kind of help I need: Are Ban Zhi Huang capsules effective for treating viral hepatitis?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this medication is only for liver protection and does not have antiviral effects. Treatment must use Entecavir or Tenofovir. It is recommended that you go to a specialized liver disease hospital for standardized diagnosis. Tests such as HBV viral load, liver function tests, the five hepatitis B markers, abdominal ultrasound, and blood routine should be conducted for a comprehensive analysis to clarify the condition. Rest regularly, avoid alcohol, do not take medicine indiscriminately, and maintain a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery.
