Authors' recommendations:
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Viread®) is recommended as an option for use within NHS Wales for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in adults with decompensated liver disease.
Treatment should normally be initiated following dialogue with a specialist liver unit.
AWMSG is of the opinion that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Viread®) is not suitable for shared care within NHS Wales for the above indication.
