There are pros and cons to treating hepatitis B with interferon and taking antiviral drugs. Interferon and antiviral drugs are the two recommended ways to treat hepatitis B at present. Interferon can be stopped after the course of treatment, and the possibility of rebound after stopping the drug is relatively small, and for the application of interferon treatment for patients with low viral load, some of them can achieve clinical cure, i.e., the surface antigen becomes negative and the virus disappears. However, interferon is suitable for young people, and some people have very serious side effects of interferon, so this should be based on the individual situation to choose the drug treatment. Antiviral drugs are suitable for all kinds of people. Antiviral drugs can also achieve the purpose of pathogen clearance, but the probability of clinical cure is smaller than interferon. Various drugs for the treatment of hepatitis B have corresponding side effects, contraindications and so on. Treatment varies from person to person and needs to be determined in a comprehensive manner by a hospital visit.
