Patterson SJ et al. - When used with lamivudine as part of combination prophylaxis, low-dose intramuscular HBIG is equivalent to high-dose intravenous HBIG. There is recent evidence that in patients receiving HBIG/lamivudine, HBIG can be replaced with adefovir dipivoxil at 6-12 months post-liver transplant without precipitating recurrence. Furthermore, a recent study showed that primary prophylaxis with combination adefovir/lamivudine therapy without the use of long-term HBIG was effective and well tolerated as primary prophylaxis.
