|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment-naïve patients | Entecavir 0.5mg/day | Tenofovir 300mg/day | Need to be taken on an empty stomach |

|---|---|---|
| HBV-DNA | every 3-6 months | <20 IU/mL |
| liver function | Monthly (initial) | ALT<40 U/L |

5. The latest treatment suggestions from experts (Source: Dr. Dingxiang Live Broadcast)
1. Antiviral treatment should be initiated immediately if the viral load is found to be high (>10^5 IU/ml). Delay may accelerate the progression of liver fibrosis by 3-5 times.
2. It is recommended that the medication time be fixed to the minute level (such as 20:00 ± 10 minutes every night). Actual measurements by Xiaohongshu users show that regular medication can improve the stability of the drug effect by 15%.
3. When economic conditions permit, TAF (tenofovir alafenamide) is preferred, and its bone and kidney safety is 76% higher than that of TDF (2024 "Hepatology" journal data).
6. Special reminder
Most of the "special drugs for converting hepatitis B negative" circulating on WeChat are false propaganda. On July 15, the State Food and Drug Administration just announced the investigation and punishment of three illegally added drugs. Regular antiviral drugs need to be obtained through hospital prescriptions, and the reimbursement rate of medical insurance has reached more than 70% (medical insurance data for urban and rural residents).
