If your Dr want to prescribed IFN, you should do it.

Is it cost effective in your medicals?

It's definitely worth a shot. Although like Stef said, you might want to measure your HBsAG first as a baseline.

yes I had 2 courses...  but none of them worked so i'm still hbsag+ve but hbeag+ve also...

you can minimize risk of sides by resting/sleepin when you feel this need, drink a lot of water and take paracetamol when needed..

do not be afraid... try!!!!!!!
