Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. The appropriate time of cessation of hepatitis B treatment with nucleus (t) IDE reverse transcriptase inhibitors (Sergio - Telbivudine), depend on which type of Hepatitis B are you affected. There are two types of hepatitis B, Head positive and Head negative hepatitis. In case you were affected by Head positive hepatitis, it would be ideal that beside the undetectable serum level value of HBV - DNA, would be reached the reconversion into Head neg and then after 6 -12 months you should have stopped the treatment safely. In case you were affected by Head negative hepatitis, the treatment should be safely stopped after at least 2 years with the HBV - DNA remaining undetectable on three separate occasions 6 months apart. Hope this may be helpful for you. Please feel free to contact me for any further information. Thank you,
