HBv

Doc, I want to know the very effective hepatitis B drug that I can take. I was initially placed on lavumidine (lamdek) but stop to continue after the last dose ends. I went to the hospital for check up and the doctor did not prescribe any drug for me. My LFT is indicating that my values are within the cut-offs but I am afraid if I do not continue with a very effective drug, my condition may worsen. Having stopped the lavumidine for about two months, I don't if I can go back it or change a different drug. Please, I need help. what should I do now?

Thanks for your contributions. I guess I have been wrongly diagnosed. What a terrible situation for me. So can I start the tenofovir right away or I need to go for check up before I do that. If I need to go for check up, what kind of check up, LFT, Viral load, scan, etc ? I need advice.

I recently refuse lamivudine treatment propose by a doctor when I recently went for checkup. she was surprise, she also claims interferon has no effect on hbsag. and that chronic hbv cannot be cured.

I am not a doctor but i can tell you lamivudine is the worst drug for hbv and just make damage.researchers proposed a ban on it since the dangerous mutations it creates on hbv virus

the only drug you cantake is tenofovir, all others must be avoided like poison because of accumulation of possible multiple resistance mutations with no response to any drug

with tenofovir you are very safe because it works on lamivudine resistance
