Question 1

Can you tell me if taking febuxostat 40 would be okay instead of febutaz 40? Ive been taking febutaz 40mg for about 13 days now, but I ran out and the pharmacy near me only had febuxostat 40.

Accepted Answer

I'm happy to help clarify this for you.

*Understanding Your Hepatitis B Test Results*

*Initial Diagnosis (2 years ago)*

- You tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), indicating an active Hepatitis B infection.

*Recent Test Results*

- Your recent HBsAg test result is "non-reactive," which means the virus is no longer detectable in your blood.

*What Does This Mean?*

A non-reactive HBsAg result suggests that:

1. *Viral clearance*: Your body may have cleared the Hepatitis B virus on its own, which is possible in some cases.
2. *Viral suppression*: Alternatively, the virus might still be present but at undetectable levels, possibly due to your immune system's response.

However, to confirm whether you've truly cleared the virus, you should undergo further testing, such as:

1. *HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody) test*: This checks for antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus, indicating immunity.
2. *HBV DNA (Hepatitis B virus DNA) test*: This measures the viral load in your blood.
