Considering Treatment
Good news
If you test positive for chronic hepatitis B, treatments are available.
Talk to your doctor to see if treatment is right for you.
If diagnosed with chronic hep B, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medicine
Antivirals can be either a pill or a medicine that you inject.
The goal of hep B treatment is to:
Reduce the amount of hep B virus in your body
Reduce the risk of developing serious liver problems
It’s important to see your doctor regularly so he or she can manage your treatment progress.
When you take medicine for your chronic hep B, sometimes you may have side effects. Sometimes, your medicine can even stop working. See your doctor regularly, so he or she can monitor these things closely.
