Author(s): Selena Clark, James hook, Rachel Sanders

Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus that can be chronic, putting people at risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer mortality. Mostly HBV therapy is now carried out according to a therapeutic guidelines programme that calls for the use of the medications Tenofovir, Entecavir, Adefovir, Lamivudine, Interferon-alpha, and Peg-interferon. The goal of this study is to demonstrate elements of chronic hepatitis B medication therapy. In the years 2011 to 2021, a bibliographic review was conducted in the databases PubMed, "Scientific Electronic Library Online" (SciELO), and Google Academics. In general, nucleoside inhibitors of reverse transcriptase and immunomodulators are suggested for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. These medicines can cause a variety of side effects, including headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and dizziness. The choice of treatment may be impacted by the fact that HBV treatment has become more successful, with less side effects, which has increased patient adherence to the medication, allowing for a higher quality of life.
