I really know nothing about the length of time a Genotype 1 person should treat with Pegasys and Ribavirin because most of us who are Genotype 1 are now treating with 3 drugs (Pegasys or some other type of interferon, Ribavirin, and one of the new drugs which became available in May 2011 (Incivek and Victrellis). Beng on the three drugs gives us Genotype 1 people a much better chance of clearing the virus and resching a sustained viral response (75 - 80% chance now).

Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.

You need to try one of the new meds in addition with the Interferon and ribaviron. The new drugs will probably come to market in 2011. "Maintenance interferon treatment" does NOTHING. IT DOES NOT REVERSE YOUR LIVER's FIBROSIS. So if that is the doctor's approach, it is futile and you should find a doctor who is aware of this fact. It is common knowledge. ScienceDaily (Nov.

After 3 weeks post pegasus/ribivarin (48 weeks responder so far) still suffering with rash, body aches, migraines, insomnia. My energy level is improving but is not great.

I am 22 yr old and i have hepatitis c genome 3 and i am taking pegasus\once weekly and ribavirin since 19-6-08 my question is have i to do weekly CBC or I can do every 2weeks before the injection ?

I was in Mumbai for the first time in this life in 2012. I had always wanted to go to India and it finally happened by some miracle, MB be happy!

Which one would you all recommend she go on, the Incivek 12 weeks plus Pegasus 48 or the 44 weeks Victrelis plus Pegasus 48? I think the Incivek has a few more sides but a better success rate. Is that true. Do patients with a lot of Incivek sides normally improve after the 12 weeks? Any info to help in the choice would be great.

Just want to let everyone know the new meds are working! Undetectable on Day 33. I am on Sovladi, Pegasus, and Ribavirin for 12 weeks—and they are working—even on my uncommon genotype 4! Over a third way through treatment, day 33, 51 days to go! Doc has adjusted Ribavirin up and down and back up again, my hemoglobin has evened out, white blood cell count down a little bit, but otherwise other blood levels are normal. So excited this is working, makes the temporary side effects worth it!

Hey Buba, You are in luck! I am genotype 4. Have had it for probably 33+ years. I am half way (tomorrow) through a 12 week treatment with Sovaldi, Pegasus, and Ribavirin. We have the highest cure rate with this triple treatment—96%! Hopefully you have insurance and can get the drugs, they are not too bad. You can visit the Sovaldi website. There may be other treatments on the horizon if you can wait for it. I chose not to wait. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

can anyone give me an idea of what interferon costs im just looking for a round about figure so i can start planning to try and afford it i know what my insurance will cover im looking for either the cost beofre or without insurance as well as with insurance or just what you paid for it and if you live in georgia and have coventry as your insurance provider i would really like to chat with you about the costs

About the scarring, the HALT C trials show that after 5 years the scarring in the liver gets better in 20% of cirrhotic (stage 4) patients, 80% of bridging fibrosis (stage 3) patients, and all of stage 1 & 2 patients.

I have Hep c and will soon start pegasus after they find out what strand of hep c I have.What is the average weight loss when taking this med?Plus hair loss,there will be another med with it but I cant remember name (r) something.

What I have heard is that Pegasys has just one dosage because it has larger molecules than PegIntron and therefore mainly stays in your bloodstream while PegIntron with its smaller molecules can find its way where Pegasys can not. Every adult has the same amount of blood independant of body weight, and therefore everyone should have the same amount of Pegasys. One is also not to compare milligrams of Pegasys with milligrams of PegIntron. They are not the same.

Others also know about this. Since you are at stage 3, and live in USA (where the new medicine will appear first) , my opinion, that you could wait for a new option. Regards, and keep the faith!

My hair didnt start falling out in clumps till my last month of pegasus ribavirin treatment, I'm done now, how long till my hair stops falling out??

I was recently diagnosed with a large cyst (5cm) on my left lobe and 2 small cyst on right. Both benign. My questions is I have a constant sore throat and pain in neck and also indigestion/ in stomach every time I eat. I am convinced its my thyroid issues. The endo doc decreased my Liothronine from 37.5mgcg to 20mcg because of side effects. The last thing I want is surgery. Do others her experience these stomach pains/nasusea/sore throats.

Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?

At least I am over hump day and get my 2nd shot out of the way on Friday! Also found a new Whole Foods Store (new favorite hang out after Best Buy) that has full fat yogurt, natural almond butter, and other way cool fatty things..) Cheers!

The cautions are for our benefit, because the understandings of all these interactions are still in their infancies this cautionary is needful. Especially where the new Protease Inhibitors are concerned, both those for HCV and those for HIV, some of these new antiviral drugs have marked effects on all other drugs being utilized. It may help to pause here to explain inducers and inhibitors. They do what the word describes. 1. An inhibitor competes with other drugs.

I I will be taking pegasus soon.can my wife be subjected to any of the drug through oral sex with me ?not a joke question.

I feel like I have been hit by a truck migraines hot cold just a daily hangover on steroids. I am a non responder to Pegasus and switched after 4 months and have been on infergen for almost 2 months. It is working and I feel blessed just wondering how other people get by when it feels like you just can't get a moment of relief getting up to grab my son from getting into things is a challenge. I'm ready to give up please help on how you made it through....
