Epivir=Lamivudine, said to be very safe for husband and wife who wish to have children. But do you have to choose Lamivudine as first-line treatment with its high resistance profile?
I am a 26 year old male having hbsag and hbeag=+ve,hbv dna =1070 iu/ml(Taqman) but my LFT results are normal(sgpt=37,sgot=33).My doctor has asked me to take lamivudine 100 mg for 6 months or until it becomes -ve.My mom is taking lamivudine for the last 7 months after her hbv dna crossed 8 lacs iu/ml.Probably I have been infected from my birth.Is it possible for both of us to completely cure Hep. B after taking lamivudine.
stop lamivudine immediately or switch to tenofovir, it is decades now lamivudine is not used because it can lead to cytopatic hbv mutations that cannot be control with any medication leading to cancer and cirrhosis despite hbsag negative, hbvdna undetectable and normal ast-alt, another reason not to use lamivudine is that it is even totally useless on hbv
the hbsag of the virus mutates to a form where the virus destroy cells directly even without replication
hbv cure is achieved only by sequen
My doctor suggests that I participate in the drug trial of Tenefovir (Viread) versus Tenofovir in combination with Emtricitibine (Truvada). I have chronic Hepatitis B and Lamivudine resistance last year. He gave me a document to read and I did a bit of research on internet on the side effect. My concern is the side effect especially on Kidney. Could you give me some advice if I should participate in the drug trial or stay with my current medicine Hepsera.
I certainly swallowed a bit of his cum during the oral sex and the next day discovered he is taking Atripla (medicine for hiv treatment which is said to reduce the viral load to undectable in most cases).

if you stop the lamivudine (which frankly is not a good medicine in light of the better agents that we now have) the HBV will reactivate.

But I can not move on since I know the lamivudine, one of main anti-HIV medicine for preventing HIV infection in the PEP procedure, will delay the window period, although it must be used with another drug and in the 24 hours after exposure.
I know you hold the opinion that anti-HIV medicine will delay the window period, My question is:
1. Can you let me know: does the lamivudine will prolong the window period or interfere the test result?
2.
Hi , I'm Hbag Positive / Hbeag Neg (Viral Hepa B).My doctor advice me to take Lumivudine (Zeffix 100mg) for 6mos.
I can't start my medications because i' m worried about if it help for me or not, as i've read from this forum one say : "Lamivudine is no longer considered a suitable first line therapy?. It is true? OR when i take it ,what will happen if i stop?
I've also just stared taking heptovit, but with lamivudine i'm afraid of the widrawal symtoms.
hello can i ask what other medicine for lamivudine?. because in middle east they dont have medicine like lamivudine in the pharmacy.
Without taking any drugs, viral load was 22,000 in september 2009. 46,000 in december 2009. Doctor recommended lamivudine in January. Took lamivudine and by June 2010, viral load was undetected. have read in many forums that lam is not the best, approached my doctor with this concern and she sugessted tenofovir. Should i start tenofovir immediately, how should i start. Should i just abruptly stop lam and move on to tenofovir, should i use both and gradually stop lam after a few day/weeks.
I got infected with HBV 11 years ago. Right now I eat Tenofovir and Lamivudine everyday. I used to take thymomodulin - A good medicine to strengthen your immune system.
HBV-DNA PRC: Negative.

I am Hep B carrier under lamivudine treatment. Last HBVDNA test was last year Aug and negative. HBeAg changed from positive to negative after 3 years of lamivudine treatment and has kept as negative so far. However, my doctor want me to continue take lamivudine after sero-conversion. Moreover, happened to test ALT (part of yearly body check) 4 days ago before above test, and the value is 42. So far, I am feeling great, eating and sleeping normal (apart from anxiety).
your life is what u should be thinking about right now.people who don't drink alcohol live longer .
