Chronic Hepatitis B
Chronic hepatitis B is a long-term liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This condition can lead to serious liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and available treatments is crucial for managing this disease effectively.
Causes of Chronic Hepatitis B
The hepatitis B virus is primarily transmitted through contact with infectious blood and bodily fluids. Common transmission methods include:
Unprotected sexual contact with an infected individual
Sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia
Mother-to-child transmission during childbirth
Exposure to infected blood in healthcare settings
Sharing personal items like razors or toothbrushes with an infected person
Individuals at higher risk include those born to infected mothers, those with multiple sexual partners, and individuals who inject drugs.
Symptoms of Chronic Hepatitis B
Symptoms can vary widely among individuals. Common symptoms include:
Fatigue or weakness
Abdominal pain or discomfort
Loss of appetite
Nausea or vomiting
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
Dark urine or light-colored stools
Some individuals may not exhibit symptoms but can still experience liver damage over time.
Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B
Treatment options depend on the disease’s severity and liver damage extent. Common treatments include:
Antiviral medications to slow or stop virus replication and reduce liver damage risk
Interferon therapy to enhance the immune response against the virus
Liver transplant in severe cases where liver damage is extensive
In addition to medical treatments, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as avoiding alcohol, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly, can help manage symptoms and improve well-being.
Prevention of Chronic Hepatitis B
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent hepatitis B. Additional preventive measures include:
Practicing safe sex by using condoms and limiting sexual partners
Avoiding sharing needles or drug equipment
Exercising caution with tattoos or body piercings
Not sharing personal items like razors or toothbrushes

How do I know YouDrugstore will send me high quality, safe medication?
One reason you can trust YouDrugstore to send you safe, high quality medication is that we only source our medication from Canadian sources. When you order from YouDrugstore, you get the same medication that Canadians take. We do not ship medication that was sourced overseas. Another reason you can trust us with your prescription is that, like American pharmacies, Canadian pharmacies, such as YouDrugstore, are highly regulated to ensure the safety and quality of their products. Canadian pharmacies have to acquire and maintain a government license in order to sell medication, and the requirements for these licenses are very similar to the requirements in America. YouDrugstore’s pharmacy is fully licensed, which means that we must obtain, handle and send only the safest, highest quality medication.
Not only that, but YouDrugstore also maintains a certification with the Canadian International Pharmacy Association, or CIPA for short. CIPA is an association of safe, reputable Canadian pharmacies. To be certified by CIPA, YouDrugstore must maintain its license, sell only safe and quality medication, maintain a reputable track record and follow a number of other strict regulations to protect consumers like you.
At YouDrugstore, we also went the extra mile and earned a verification with PharmacyChecker, which requires that we dispense through a licensed pharmacy only, always require prescriptions for prescription medication, have a real address and phone number, and secure private and financial information of our customers.
What can I expect if I order from YouDrugstore?
When you order your prescriptions from YouDrugstore, you can expect a number of things. You can expect to be treated fairly and to receive the medication you need within five to ten business days, or within three to five business days if you select our express shipping option. You can also expect considerable prescription savings compared to what you would pay at your local pharmacy.
Here is how the entire process works:
- You register a free account on our website and place an order.
- We contact you to confirm your order and payment information.
- We verify your prescription, if you are ordering a prescription medication.
- We ship your order and send you tracking information so you can track your order.
Keep in mind that to order prescription medication from YouDrugstore, you must have a valid prescription for that medication.
You can use the search box in the top right of the website to find your medication. Once you find it, you can add it to your cart and then proceed to the checkout. Once you are on the checkout page, you can upload an image of your prescription(s). If you are having trouble finding a product you need, simply call our pharmacy team between the 8:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. CST (Monday – Friday) and 9:00 A.M to 2:00 P.M. CST (Saturday), and one of our pharmacists will be happy to help you find what you need and place an order.
Once your order has been placed, our team of professional pharmacy technicians and health care professionals will review your order and process your prescription. Part of this process involves ensuring that your medication is safe for you to take, that there are no interactions with other medications you may be taking, and that the medication is right for what you are treating.
What if I have an ongoing prescription?
YouDrugstore works just like your local pharmacy. If you have an ongoing prescription, or refills left over for a current prescription, you can transfer it to our pharmacy. Simply contact us by phone or email to ask about our prescription transfer service. We will need an image of your valid prescription in order to fill it and any ongoing refills you may have.
Why do people buy medication from Canada?
Our prices reflect the same prices that most Canadians pay when they need medication. In fact, you can save up to 80% or more on your prescriptions when you shop at YouDrugstore. But why are medications so much cheaper in Canada compared to the United States?
In America, medications, medical devices and other health care products are made by private companies. As private businesses, these companies have, in many cases, a legal obligation to make as much profit as possible. This is to cover the cost of the manufacturing and marketing of the drug, as well as to ensure that the company’s investors and stakeholders also make a profit. As owners of their products, these companies are also able to set whatever prices they wish. All of this generally translates into drug prices that soar as much as the market allows them to.
In contrast, drug pricing is regulated by the government in Canada. This means that the drug companies cannot legally charge whatever they want, they can only charge a certain amount for their medicines. In fact, drug prices in Canada can not increase more than the average increase in everyday consumer products, and the government can directly order a drug manufacturer to lower its prices if it finds a product is too expensive.
This leads many Americans to buy medication from Canada because of the huge savings they receive. Not only is Canada a close neighbor, but the costs of filling a prescription are significantly more affordable. As mentioned above, people can save up to 80% or even more on their prescriptions by ordering from YouDrugstore.com.
Does drug price affect the quality of the medication in Canada?
The short answer is no. Just because drugs cost less in Canada does not mean that they are any less effective, or of lower quality, than they are in America. In fact, almost all of the products in Canada are made by the exact same manufacturers that provide the same medication in the United States. Some drugs may have a different name in Canada than they do in the United States, but they are not any less effective and they are not of lower quality. The difference in names is usually due to an issue with the licensing and marketing of the drug, not the drug itself.
Why should I order medication from Canada instead of India, the United Kingdom, or New Zealand?
There are a number of reasons for why most Americans choose to order medication from Canada instead of overseas. The most obvious reason is the fact that distance plays a role when it comes to shipping. When you order medication overseas, it could expire by the time it reaches you, the packaging could get damaged, or the medication could become compromised. It can also take twice as long to reach you compared to if you order from Canada. Another reason is the fact that medication in countries overseas are regulated quite differently than how they are in North America. How they manufacture the medication, how they handle medication, and how they test their medication is arguably less strict and more lenient compared to the laws and policies that restrict how medication is treated in Canada and the United States. Furthermore, there have been countless instances of fake or counterfeit medication being sold and shipped to North Americans from overseas.
