[|Human|] I have been taken Zeffix for more than five year. Last PCR done in Germany show zero value with very small signals. I still take Zeffiex for more that 12 months after last metioned PCR. my wife also has Hepatitus b but she didnt take Zeffix. And we had sex this month.My Question is I should stop zeffix. And do I need to repeat PCR after stopping several times.Thanks
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand that you have to repeat PCR frequently, but it is necessary, and it will indicate the viral load of hepatitis B which will denote your response to Suffix. Zeffix is an antiviral lamivudine which is quite effective for Hepatitis B. If your spouse is also suffering from hepatitis B infection, she should also be treated as soon as possible as there are chances of her infecting you during intercourse. I suggest you get a PCR done now before stopping Suffix, if vital load is 20,000 IU, then you do not need to repeat it. I hope I have cleared your doubts. Thanks.
