gee sigal, i don't know that much about hep b, alot of us here have hep c. you should try your question under the gastrointerology section of this web site. there is a doctor commenting there. we may not be able to answer this question about your meds. but there are a couple here that seem to know more about hep b. i hope they can give you some advice.

genedog, i'm so glad to hear you will be covered until the end of treatment!!! way to go! geesh, you sure didn't need this right now...are you going to be okay?
