 There are several treatments available. The best one will often depend on some patient related factors and the status of your hepatitis B infection so it is hard to answer your question directly. The treatments include: entecavir telbivudine pegylated interferon lamivudine emtricitabine hepsera (adefovir) You may want to ask about entecavir or telbivudine since they seem to suppress the HBV virus faster than adefovir. | ||||||||
