    I have been using Baraclude (Entecavir) for over 4 years now. It worked until few months ago. The virus came back and now my doctor has to search for new drugs for me. I read an article about this drug's resistance in 6 years. I don't know whether it is normal for the need of switching durgs but I hope it is something out there can work for a lifetime.

    I believe that I am taking baraclude for about a year. I had billions of virus load on my blood. Now I am down to (0)Zero. Although, I believe that Hep B already did the damage. I am so depressed because of this virus and seems that I cant get back to be a normal person. I hope that Hep B wont come back

    It's crazy how expensive it is for you guys in the US! In China it costs US$14 for a pack of 7 pills under the name of Entecavir. My virus count went down four orders after four months, but it's still not clear when I will be able to stop taking it. Haven't noticed any side effects.
