I have chronic hepatitis B and been using Viread and Zeffix. ALT has been normal, HBV DNA has been negative and HBeAg has been positive recently. Now I am post-doctoral researcher in Paris and applied to temporary residence permit in Paris for 1-year without work permit. I have been working in an institution in my country and I can benefit from our social security system through the consulate. Namely, I do not need social security in France.
if you have taken zeffix (lamivudine) even if for short periods you might have developped hbv mutations
baraclude (entecavir) doesn t work if there are lamivudine mutations and makes other untreatable mutations
the best choice is tenofovir which makes no mutations, so i suggest to take both entecavir and tenofovir for 2-3 months and then stop entecavir
these antivirals cannot be stopped all at once so you must combo for sometimes, you must check hbvdna while making these changes because it is
Lamivudine aims at controlling the replication of HBV-DNA. Its percentage at changing HBsAg（+) to HBsAg(-) and HBsAB(-) to HBsAB(+) is between 1% and 2%.
Doctor then prescribed lamivudine which I used for 3 months and discontinued. In 2014 I did a pcr and result was 700iu/ml, 2015 pcr was 1380iu/ml and just did another 3 days ago with result 101000 iu/ml, which prompted me to see a doctor. He prescribed for me lamivudine 100mg for 6months. My question is, is this the appropriate drug considering I have used this drug 10 yrs ago and also considering other combination options available today.
sngtala start tenofovir and stop zeffix(lamivudine) as soon as possible, it only worsen infection, now the only drug you can use is tenofovir
I was examined by my first doctor and advice me that I am not qualified for medication but my employment requires to pass this Hepa B case so I look for another doctor that could give me something for medication.. The doctor and give me Lamivudine(Zeffix)..
My question is; Is there someone in this forum that had experience with this level of UI/ml that been cured and how long?.. My employeer is waiting for my respond but I cant give them exact or approximate date when will cured..
Some do quite well and continue to work. Lamivudine is no longer considered a suitable first line therapy.
Firstly I was treated with zeffix (Lamivudine) in 3 years and then the doctor stopped the treatment. In 3,4 years later, My disease became re-active. The doctors continued the treatment and I had to take medicine again. In the first 3 years, I took Lamivudine + Hepsera. Recently I have eaten Lamivudine + Tenofovir. Now my HBsAg (Abbott Architect - Quantity) is reduced to 3.92. It is really good to hear that I probably get serocoversion.
I am in Vietnam now. I have been with Ms. Thuy - Ph.
Zeffix = Lamivudine is known to have poor resistance profile. If your wife has to take it for long, she is likely to develop resistance, which is not good. Ask her doctor about entecavir, which has much less resistance problem.
I recall that he is taking Zeffix, which as I see now is a brand name of Lamivudine. However in the only intercourse we had in time of his treatment, the only unprotected component was kissing - do you think that a vaccinated person can be infected by these mutated versions of HBs by a kiss???
Since then, I have been taking Zeffix (Lamivudine). Recently my doctor decided to put me on Viread (Tenofovir) instead. As I have read, some people are experiencing bone density loss due to Tenofovir therapy. Is it advisable that I start taking supplements like calcium and vitamin D along with my therapy to prevent bone loss? Thank you.
we are full of these trials so doctors are very afraid in my country and don t talk so easily as you are saying, plus it is illegal to use lamivudine, hespera, telbivudine here and also when they check blood they cannot use old cheap hbvdna assays in public healthcare system but they must use the newest
i bet you are writing from US and the more i hear from there the more i am disgust since the most works with the money not the patient intrest above money
