Effect of artemisinin/artesunate as inhibitors of hepatitis B

i found artesunate is used by many patients for other viruses since it has braod antiviral specturm, i will check with them safe doses (should be same as for malaria treatment) and experienced sides.
alt/ast must be stricly tested weekly or monthly to detect any liver damage for those with normal alt/ast and this compound must be avoided in case of severe liver damage/fibrosis/cirrhosis

if you are not taking paracetamol this is common sides effect, at first injection i had over 39° fever even if i took paracetamol, in the following days i took ams paracetamol dose allowed to keep fever at 38° (it did not go down), all the following weeks i took paracetamol before injection so i avoided that fever hell

at 12 weeks i was not using paracetamol anymore because i had low fever like 37-37.8°
