Head-to-head comparisons of medication uses, side effects, warnings, and more.

Key takeaways

Adefovir (Hepsera) and interferon alfa-2b (Intron A) are both used to treat chronic hepatitis B, but they belong to different medication classes. Adefovir is an oral antiviral medication known as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). Interferon alfa-2b was an injectable biologic, but it is no longer available in the U.S. Adefovir can cause side effects like weakness, headache, and stomach pain, and it has a risk of causing lactic acidosis and kidney problems.
