Adefovir Dipivoxil and Telbivudine effective for HBV Treatment

The 57th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Liver Diseases (AASLD) found Adefovir Dipivoxil to be more effective in controlling virus reproduction for chronic Hepatitis B patients. Moreover, during the 3 years of research, patient's showed biological tolerance on daily consumption of 10 mg the said drug, showing no other signs of secondary disease resulting to the adverse effects of Adefovir Dipivoxil.

Similarly, Telbivudine, another antiviral drug used for Hepatitis B, was helpful if a patient is switched to Telbivudine viral treatment after 24 weeks of initial Lamivudine use. More readings on docguide.com. (1) (2)
