Prior to treatment my Fibroscan score was 5.9 KPA,HBV DNA=6040 IU/ML,SGOT=38,SGPT=46.My doctor started treatment so as to reduce chances of liver damage and chances of transmission to others.
Now after almost 3.5 years on TAF 25 my body weight is 77 kg(gained 11 kgs) with no change in my diet or eating habits.My HBV DNA has been -ve throughout these years with normal AST/ALT levels.
Are you taking vemlidy ? Any side effects? And what stage fibrosis are you ?
Prescribing data sheet for Vemlidy weight gain or loss is not listed as a known side effect

Absolutely not. If anything, I saw weight gain and increased hunger while on the meds.
