Lamivudine cannot cure Hepatitis B. The virus develops resistance rather fast with irreversible consequences. It can be given with simultaneous Hepsera(Adefovir Dipivoxil.

It should not be used as monotherapy anymore!!! It often is still used in this way because it is the least expensive drug and many Drs do not know the full impact of this resistance on the future of the patients treatment chances.They try, wait for failure and then "switch" to the next drug. Bad, bad strategy because the other drugs work then less effectively and are more prone to further resistance once the YMDD backbone mutation is in place.

Which country are you from? To give any more specific comments much more info would be needed. HBV is a complex multitude of diseases.
