Hepatitis B is a viral hepatitis caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Its primary treatment involves antiviral medications, commonly nucleos(t)ide analogues such as entecavir, lamivudine, and telbivudine. In some cases, interferon-based therapies or antifibrotic agents may also be required. Specific drug selection depends on individual clinical conditions; therefore, patients should consult their physicians to determine the most appropriate treatment regimen and must avoid self-medicating.
