Final answer:
The specific drugs recommended for postexposure treatment of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) are Antivirals, accompanied by hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) in case of acute exposure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Postexposure Treatment for HBV
The recommended postexposure treatment for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is antiviral medications and hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG). Medications used include interferon alpha 2b and antivirals such as lamivudine, entecavir, adefovir, and telbivudine, particularly for chronic HBV infections. In acute exposure scenarios, HBIG is administered alongside the initiation of HBV vaccination to prevent infection.
To answer the student's question directly, the specific drugs recommended for postexposure treatment of HBV are B) Antivirals. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, and therefore are not suitable for treating HBV. Painkillers and anti-inflammatories may be used to alleviate symptoms but do not address the virus itself.
