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

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.
