Patients with liver disease often need medication for some other diseases in their lives, so what do they need to pay attention to? On the other hand, if a hepatitis B patient has other diseases such as diarrhea, colds, joint pains, etc., and needs appropriate medication, the doctor will consider not using medication or choosing medication that has little effect on the liver according to the patient’s hepatitis B condition. On the other hand, if a hepatitis B patient has other diseases such as diarrhea, colds, joint pains, etc., and needs corresponding medication, the doctor will consider not using medication or choosing medication that has less impact on the liver according to the patient’s hepatitis B condition. Among the daily medications, antipyretics, painkillers, certain antibiotics (such as erythromycin, tetracyclines, anti-tuberculosis drugs), and birth control pills can easily cause liver damage and are avoided by hepatologists as much as possible. Patients should also tell their doctors that they have hepatitis when they see them for related diseases, so that they can better choose drugs that are less damaging to the liver. When drugs cause liver damage a few people will have symptoms such as weakness, vague pain or poor appetite, but most people will not have uncomfortable symptoms. For this reason, hepatitis B patients who regularly take drugs that can easily cause liver damage need to have their liver function tested regularly to detect any liver damage so that it can be dealt with in a timely manner. If you can’t stop the medication, your doctor will switch to another type of medication according to your condition. If you can’t switch to another type of medication, you can add one or two liver protection medications to see if you can improve your liver function, while closely observing changes in liver function and paying attention to rest. Many people like to use herbal medicines to protect their liver, and many of them are really effective in protecting the liver and lowering enzymes, but they should not be abused because some of them can also cause liver damage. It is wrong to think that Chinese medicine and proprietary Chinese medicines are absolutely free of toxic side effects. We often encounter examples of hepatitis B patients who have been treated with “ancestral recipes” in their hometowns for half a year, but their condition worsened and they came to seek medical help. Regular follow-up is very important. Some hepatitis B patients often take matters into their own hands and purchase their own medication outside the home, while others purchase medication at pharmacies according to their doctor’s prescriptions for a long time after seeing a doctor a few times, and do not seek follow-ups with their doctor for several years. The hepatitis B treatment plan should not be set in stone, but should be constantly adjusted according to changes in the disease and virus mutation, so it is very important for patients to follow up regularly and take their medication as prescribed by their doctors.
