nizoral tablets might damage hbsag, in vitro reduction 72%

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmv.1890160308/abstract

ketoconazole makes damage to hbsag lipids probably the same way as statins do.if you use these pills or statins you must check liver function monthly because although rare both statins and especially ketoconazole might make liver damage and in that case it is better to stop these pills

i also suggest to use antioxidants like fibroguard, heptech, heptoshield, liposomal glutathione and liposomal vitamin c, these antioxidants will probably block any liver damage.i am using this products continuatively to reverse all cirrhosis

How does it work?
Nizoral tablets contain the active ingredient ketoconazole, which is a type of medicine called an antifungal. It is used to treat infections with fungi and yeasts.
Ketoconazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the fungal cell membrane, causing holes to appear in it.
The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. As ketoconazole causes holes to appear in the cell membranes, essential constituents of the fungal cells can leak out. This kills the fungi and treats the infection.
When taken by mouth ketoconazole may very rarely cause serious side effects on the liver. As a result, Nizoral tablets are reserved for treating fungal infections that can't be treated with other antifungals.

of course hbsag quantification is a must and done every 3-6 months, our goal is hbsag reduction

of course statins and ketoconazole are meant to be used in combo with tnf or etv or inf or ntz, they have no meaning as monotherapy since theyhave almost no activity on hbvdna

they are not bad, they have tried to prevent their use in the past by stating that they make liver damage but all those statments were false and not from well known liver researchers, on the contrary they have shown to prevent cirrhosis, portal hypertension and liver cancer

of course liver damage can happen in rare cases but this is the same for any drug and compared to the simple aspirin the statin are much less toxic.

so close monotoring of liver function must always be done for any therapy and drug, even when taking vitamins, at least we know what good or bad we are doing.
we are now lucky because we have about the same tests used at research level available, and most of the time we even do better tests than them

i do suggest monthly liver function tests, especially those who have free tests, insurance or those who can afford even if there is no toxcity at all when using statins, ketoconazole

Thanks stef2011. Frankly, I am very confused by Cholesterol lowering drugs such as statin. It seems they can be good and bad at the same time for Hepatitis B patients. I hope you can clarify the situation for all of us.
