Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Godex is having entecavir.
It is monoclonal antibody against hepatitis B virus.
So you are taking correct drugs for hepatitis B.
But, it won't make you non reactive after 1 month.
Actually it needs prolonged treatment, at least 10-12 months for this.
All these depends on your viral load.
So first get done hepatitis B viral load.
And monitor this every two monthly for reduction in viral load.
Better to consult gastroenterologist and discuss all these.
You will need prolong period, this will not make you non reactive after 1 month.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
