The main treatment objective is the sustained suppression of HBV DNA to reduce hepatic necroinflammation and progression of liver fibrosis. Furthermore, seroconversion to anti-HBe should be pmsued in HBeAg positive mdividuals, as it has been shown that seroconversion in these individuals is associated with improved outcome. Seroconversion to anti-HBs is rarely observed during antiviral therapy, mdi-cating that eradication of HBV is a ramer unlikely event with me currently available antiviral treatment. 

Antibiotic therapy is indicated in three distinct situations over the course of CF (1) early eradication and delay of colonization (2) suppression of bacterial growth once colonization occurs and (3) reduction of bacterial load in acute overgrowth. 

The primary goal of HP therapy is to completely eradicate the organism using an effective antibiotic-containing regimen. Reliance on conventional acid-suppressive drug therapy alone...

Numerous clinical trials have been done to determine the optimal regimen for H. pylori eradication, but there remains no gold standard of therapy to date. When selecting a regimen, take into account efficacy, tolerability, compliance, and cost. H. pylori is easily suppressed but, to ensure successful eradication, requires the use of... 

Table 2 gives details of some conventional regimes (see British National Formulary, 2008). The efficacy of therapy can be checked by Radiocarbon-labelled urea breath testing (which depends upon release of labelled carbon dioxide by bacterial urease) or by testing gastric biopsy material for persistence of gastric urease, but should only be done after eradication therapy has been discontinued for at least a month, and whilst any anti-secretory treatment has been discontinued (because it tends to suppress but does not eradicate the organism). 

Methenamine is primarily used for the long-term prophylactic or suppressive therapy of recurring UTIs. It is not a primary drug for therapy of acute infections. It should be used to maintain sterile urine after appropriate antimicrobial agents have been employed to eradicate the infection. 

A. Glucocorticoid treatment of rheumatoid arthritis does not eradicate all symptoms, nor does it reverse the degenerative process. Suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is an unwanted side effect of glucocorticoid therapy. While development of a sense of well-being may be attributed to the relief of symptoms, it is not the primary basis for employing the potent glucocorticoids. 

It is indicated in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infection e.g. bronchitis and pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infections e.g. pharyngitis and sinusitis, infections due to chlamydia, legionella and mycoplasma, skin and soft tissue infections and eradication of H. pylori with acid suppressants. 

Urinary antiseptics are oral agents that exert antibacterial activity in the urine but have little or no systemic antibacterial effect. Their usefulness is limited to lower urinary tract infections. Prolonged suppression of bacteriuria by means of urinary antiseptics may be desirable in chronic urinary tract infections in which eradication of infection by short-term systemic therapy has not been possible. 

However, most of the benefits of any success in coca eradication have probably been lost because of the new growth in cocaine production in Colombia, where drug production is now controlled mainly by leftist guerrilla groups. On the other side of the world in Afghanistan, the overthrow of the Taliban (which had suppressed heroin production) has resulted in a great increase in production of opium poppies.
