There is still no complete cure for hepatitis B, there are 7 approved drugs for adults (2 for children) and many promising new drugs in development. Current treatments seem to be most effective in those who show signs of active liver disease. Some of the approved Hepatitis B Drugs in the United States are: Interferon Alpha, Lamivudine, Entecavir, Telbivudine and Tenofovir.
