I'm a bit concerned about taking Psorid 50 mg because I recently had gallbladder stones detected and removed, and now they've found HCV, though my RNA quantification came back negative. Could this medication affect my liver in any way?

Immediately stop breastfeeding for 24-48 hours to avoid passing the medication to your baby. Pump and discard breast milk during this period. Consult your doctor or a lactation consultant for guidance. Monitor your baby for any adverse reactions. Resume breastfeeding after the recommended time

View allI'm thinking about starting Liv52, but I'm not quite sure when the best time of day is to take it. Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of? Just trying to make sure I'm doing everything right for my health.
Liv-52 should be taken twice a day, preferably after meals. It is recommended to take it for at least 6-8 weeks to see its full benefits. Liv-52 is generally safe for most people when taken as directed. However, some rare side effects may include upset stomach or allergic reactions. If you experience any unusual symptoms, please discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

My father just got his hepatitis B report positive for the first time - he's 59 with HBsAg 300, anti-HBc 11.93, and anti-HBc IgM negative. The test was done before his eye surgery and he has no symptoms right now. Since we can't visit the hospital easily due to COVID, what should be our next steps? When does treatment usually start for cases like his and what are the best treatment options available? We live near Vellore in Tamil Nadu - any guidance would be really helpful
Your father's Hepatitis B test result (HBsAg positive, anti-HBc positive, anti-HBc IgM negative) indicates a chronic Hepatitis B infection. The first step is to consult a doctor to discuss treatment options, even if he's asymptomatic, as treatment can help manage the infection and prevent long-term complications

I've just found out my HBsAg levels are 4094.27 and it's reactive. I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Can you tell me how I can treat this and how long it might take? Is this something I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life? Any advice would be really appreciated.
You must continue to repeat relevant tests at regular intervals in order to determine the progression of your disease. Hepatitis B has no known cure, but can be managed with regular medication and lifestyle modifications.
