Adjuvant mode of action

Criteria The therapeutic agents should meet the following criteria (7.) as far as possible, they should have no side effects or interactions, (2.) the adjuvant effects should be proven or at least deemed plausible by biochemical and/or pharmacological studies, and (i.) the additional cost should be justifiable and within certain limits. Because of their merely adjuvant modes of action, such substances must be used long-term (>2 years) to obtain positive effects in chronic hepatitis -as is also necessary with other chronic diseases.
