Acute HEPATITIS B doesn't usually require medicinal treatment because most adult bodies clear the infection by themselves.

Less than 1% of patients require medicinal treatment, and those patients are either immunocompromised or the infection has taken a very aggressive course.

Currently there are 7 drugs listed for the treatment of Hepatitis B in the USA. These are:

  • Epivir (lamivudine)
  • Hepsera (adefovir)
  • Viread (tenofovir)
  • Tyzeka (telbivudine)
  • Baraclude (entecavir)
  • Pegasys (PEGylated interferon alpha-2A)
  • Interferon alpha-2A
