UK - NICE Publishes Guidance on Tenofovir Disoproxil

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.
