Is Heptral Advisable For A Person With Fibroscan Test Result Of 10.8?
I just did a fibroscan test today with 10.8 kpa Similarly I had done the same test two and half years ago and the result was 10.9 kpa this was before my HEPC Treatment started which I did for 6 months and my viral load was undetectable after 4 weeks of treatment till the end of 6 months. My Physician has prescribed HEPTRAL 400 one tablet daily for 3 months. I have sent my blood sample for RNA viral load waiting for the report Please advice

Hello,
The fibroscan doesn't necessarily ever change after the hepatitis is gone. S adenosyl methionine is like a vitamin for prevention of liver damage.
It doesn't do that much and might not have any possible toxicities. So, you could reasonably try the heptrol and it's really hard to have any bad happen from it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
