A member asked:
Are there any approved drugs to treat chronic hepatitis b?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but....: There are drugs used to treat chronic hepatitis b infections, but not everyone needs, or should, be on them. This is too complicated to fully discuss on this board, you need to see a liver specialist, or infectious disease specialist, to review your individual situation, and then make appropriate recommendations.

Yes: There are many medications approved for the treatment of hepatitis b. Treatment depends on your viral level, liver function, and overall health status. You should see a hepatologist for evaluation and management.
