A member asked:
Should any medicine like interferon be taken in the early to mid stages of acute hepatitis b?(2-3 weeks in)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Interferon is often prescribed for treatment of hepatitis b (along with other antiviral drugs), although its effectiveness is still a matter of debate in the medical community. Hep b is a serious condition; see your doctor immediately, if you haven't already.
