PIease i would want to know the name of the drug i could be taking in place of Livolin Forte, that i could get here in Brazil and also to ask how long i am expected to take the liver protective drug. Thank you for your help sir.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Livolin forte is just a liver protective medication and is not the one for specifically treating hepatitis B.
More tests are to be done to plan treatment for hepatitis B.
Liver function test, HBeAg, HBV DNA levels are to be done to plan treatment for hepatitis B. Also every 6 months you need to check your serum alpha fetoprotein levels and also get an ultrasound scan done.

I hope that answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
