Key points

  • Chronic hepatitis B does not always need medicine, since monitoring and liver assessment guide the decision first.
  • Hepatitis C treatment today relies on oral direct-acting antivirals for most people with a detectable infection.
  • Hepatitis B testing happens before starting hepatitis C antiviral treatment, since hepatitis B can reactivate during that treatment.
  • Hepatitis B and hepatitis C have different treatment goals and monitoring needs, even though both sit in this same antiviral range.

Hepatitis B antivirals in this range

Baraclude contains entecavir and Tenvir contains tenofovir disoproxil; both are listed for Chronic Hepatitis B, and Epivir HBV contains lamivudine for the same use. Entecavir and Tenofovir Disoproxil can suppress the hepatitis B virus without curing it. Tenvir is also listed for HIV-1 infection, since tenofovir disoproxil treats both viruses.

Hepatitis C antivirals in this range

Copegus contains ribavirin and is listed for chronic hepatitis C. Ribavirin works as a single ingredient, while Hepcinat LP combines ledipasvir with sofosbuvir in one tablet as a direct-acting antiviral combination, also listed for chronic hepatitis C.
