This plant grows wild in most provinces and cities, and is abundant in the low mountains, northern midlands, central region and Central Highlands. The tree is about 0.6-1 m tall, with many spreading branches, covered with star-shaped hairs and many thorns. The leaves grow alternately, the underside is covered with pale white hairs and thorns. The fruit is spherical, when ripe, it is yellow and smooth.

Solanum procumbens is one of the medicinal herbs in traditional medicine. Some studies show that the stems, leaves, roots and fruits of Solanum procumbens contain many substances that help inhibit the development of fibroids, fight inflammation and protect the liver, including hepatitis B.

However, Solanum procumbens cannot completely replace drugs to treat hepatitis B. Besides, there have been cases of arbitrarily stopping antiviral drugs in treating hepatitis B and switching to drinking tea from Solanum procumbens, leading to high liver enzymes, cirrhosis, and acute liver failure. Therefore, your husband should follow the doctor’s instructions, have timely check-ups and not arbitrarily stop taking hepatitis B medication.

You should also proactively prevent hepatitis B. First, you need to test for hepatitis B to check if you are infected or not. If infected, you need to comply with follow-up examination and treatment prescribed by your doctor. If you have not yet had the disease and your antibodies are below the protective threshold, you should arrange to get vaccinated early to promptly supplement protective antibodies.

Vietnam currently has single-shot or combined hepatitis B vaccines to prevent hepatitis A. Adults need to get three shots within 6 months, or 4 shots within 12 months in cases of frequent care and contact with the patient’s blood and body fluids.

In addition, the vaccine can also be given to children. Children need a hepatitis B injection within 24 hours of birth, then continue with the 5-in-1 or 6-in-1 vaccine regimen.

Antibodies obtained from vaccination will gradually decrease over time. People should get a booster shot if antibodies fall below the protective threshold and get tested before vaccination.
