Is it good to take liver protection drugs? The truth: Hepatitis B patients should not use it indiscriminately, the scope of application is very strict
China is a big country with hepatitis B, and the incidence rate is extremely high. Although hepatitis B is very common, many people do not have a correct understanding of hepatitis B. They think that hepatitis B needs to take liver-protective drugs to prevent the disease from worsening, so they will abuse liver-protective drugs on their own. of patients believe that HBV clears on its own. Let's take a look at these issues together.
Hepatitis B virus is likely to clear on its own. There are some hepatitis B patients in the clinic who do not have any treatment, but they go to the hospital for examination and no virus is detected. In fact, this is the phenomenon that the virus clears itself. There are also some hepatitis B patients who insist on physical exercise every day and pay attention to dietary conditioning, the body's immunity will be enhanced, and the virus in the body will be gradually eliminated. However, it should be noted that not all hepatitis B viruses can be cleared by themselves. It is best for hepatitis B patients to have regular inspections.
Hepatitis B patients are particular about taking liver-protecting drugs. Not all patients need to take liver-protecting drugs. Abusing liver-protecting drugs will increase the burden on the liver and cause the disease to worsen. Some hepatitis B patients have no symptoms and start to take liver-protecting drugs in large quantities, which is extremely wrong. Because drugs are decomposed by the liver, excessive use of liver-protecting drugs will only lead to poor liver function and even induce drug-induced hepatitis. Therefore, hepatitis B patients still need to follow the doctor's guidance whether to take liver protection drugs or not.
1, acute hepatitis B, hepatitis A, hepatitis E
Patients with acute hepatitis B, hepatitis A, and hepatitis E are not very serious. For targeted treatment or no treatment, patients can be given liver-protecting drugs to relieve symptoms.
- Some patients with hepatitis B and C
Some hepatitis B and C patients are not seriously ill, and there is no phenomenon of active virus replication. After treatment, the liver function has not completely returned to normal. They can take appropriate liver protection drugs to promote the recovery of liver function.
- Severe hepatitis
Patients with chronic hepatitis, acute hepatitis, etc. can take liver-protective drugs in time to control the disease, which can play a role in protecting the liver.
For the treatment of hepatitis B, anti-virus is the correct policy. We must go to the hospital for relevant examinations, and then carry out reasonable anti-viral drug treatment, which can control the disease and prevent the virus from replicating. Otherwise, if unfortunately "invoke" liver cirrhosis and liver tumors, it will be too late. Never abuse liver-protecting drugs, no matter what drug you use, follow your doctor's orders, and the same is true for liver-protecting drugs.
