Ignore my last post. I've been researching HCV lately, ...and, ...well, ...screwed than one up. I was referring to HCV therapies. Allow me to set the record straight here.

For HBV therapy:

Pegintron (Schering Plough) Interferon therapy has the side effects I mentioned earlier.

Epivir HBV (GlaxoSmithKline) Lamivudine therapy has little side effects but can cause mutant HBV cells.

Hepsera (Gilead) Adefovir Dipivoxil therapy is the newest on the market and has little side effects except for kidney problems which appear to be reversible.

Zadaxin would be the first adjuvant (secondary drug - cocktail therapy) approved for HBV therapy in Japan. Also, any drug like Zadaxin that can take the "edge" off the chemotherapy drugs has got to help take the "edge" off of these drugs as well.
