The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has published guidance on tenofovir disoproxil, recommending it for use in patients for whom antiviral treatment is indicated with chronic HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative hepatitis B. However, the guidance does not apply to patients with chronic hepatitis B who also have hepatitis C, hepatitis D or HIV.
