Dr. Gao Jun
Hepatitis B is a chronic disease caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus, and its treatment usually requires a comprehensive approach considering antiviral therapy, liver protection, and immune regulation. Bear bile powder, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, and improving liver function and vision. However, bear bile powder cannot directly lead to HBsAg seroclearance in hepatitis B patients.
It is recommended to regularly monitor liver function and viral load, and to initiate antiviral treatment when necessary. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits, avoiding alcohol consumption and medications harmful to the liver, enhancing nutrition, exercising moderately, and boosting immunity are important. While traditional medicines like bear bile powder may offer some auxiliary benefits in certain situations, they should not be used as the primary treatment method nor should they replace standard medical interventions.
