Alternative medications, like siddha, have not been proven to work (or, in many cases, have been proven not to work). Once a traditional medicine has been proven to work, it becomes simple medicine, and is part of 'allopathic' science-based medicine system.
Just like pharmaceuticals - siddha medicines can have drug interactions and side effects. You want to speak to your physician about what those interaction might be to make sure you are safe.
You should also talk to your doctor if you have Hep B. Hep B isn't normally very dangerous. Most people will simply get over it in a matter of weeks or months. For the small percentage of people who do not, antiviral medicines are usually very effective.
If someone has Hep B because their immune system is compromised, then I would say no, that person would not be wise to use any natural remedies that are not 100% okay-ed by their primary physician. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

First and foremost, diet can help reduce the amount of medicine you need to take.
Here is a link that has others talking about their experiences with using diet to help their hep b issues.
However you are asking about mixing medicines with pharmacy drugs, so I will tell you that I always warn people against two things when dealing with drugs.
#1. NEVER TAKE MAN MADE DRUGS (there are many more less life threatening ways out there to help with your illnesses)
#2. NEVER MIX PHARMACEUTICALS WITH NATURAL MEDICINES this link explains why . . .
"It is very important to learn about the side effects of allopathic medicines. Sulpha drugs are creating allergy problems to many people and excessive use of the same may cause anaemic problem. Similarly other medicines like Paracetamol and Erythromycin Stearate will damage the liver when they are repeatedly used."
