What medications are available for hepatitis B treatment?

Hepatitis B is a chronic infectious disease primarily caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which spreads through blood and other transmission routes. Main symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, diarrhea, and jaundice. Treatment of hepatitis B typically requires combination drug therapy; monotherapy is generally not recommended. The main categories of medications are as follows: 1. Broad-spectrum antiviral agents, such as interferon, pegylated interferon, and entecavir; 2. Hepatocyte maintenance and repair agents, such as adefovir dipivoxil, lamivudine, and adefovir; 3. Immunosuppressants, such as simeprevir; 4. Anticoagulant drugs, such as cilostazol; 5. Immunomodulators, such as amifostine; 6. Traditional Chinese herbal medicines, such as angelica root (Danggui), licorice root (Gancao), and raw rehmannia root (Shengdihuang). Depending on the specific clinical manifestations of hepatitis B and drug sensitivity testing, patients may comprehensively consider the above medications for combined treatment to alleviate symptoms, control disease progression, and improve therapeutic outcomes.
