I've been dealing with hepatitis B for a while and I'm currently on tenvir. I've also been struggling with acne and was thinking about trying resoten 20 mg capsules. I'm a bit worried if it's safe to take this medication along with tenvir. Is it okay to use both, or could there be any complications?
