In short
In the European Union, hepatitis B surface antigen is indicated for the active immunisation against hepatitis B virus infection caused by all known subtypes of hepatitis B virus in adults 18 years of age and older. Immunisation with this vaccine is also expected to prevent hepatitis D, as hepatitis D does not occur in the absence of hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis B surface antigen is listed by the cited source as having an approved use for acute hepatitis B.

About this page. This page brings together public information from official sources, each cited where it is used. It is not medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not tell you which treatment to take.
Treatments. Indications are quoted unchanged from official product information (European Medicines Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration). They describe what a medicine is approved for, not whether it is right for you. Approved uses can differ between countries. Always read the package leaflet and follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice.
What people report. Figures marked "reported by Anpheros users" are anonymous counts from at least 20 people who agreed to share them. They show what people report, not what works, and they are not clinical evidence.
Links between terms. "May be associated with" means the link appears in a cited source. It does not mean you have that condition.
In an emergency, call 112 (or your local emergency number). Do not delay seeking medical help because of something you read here.
