My Pegasys was lowered from 180 to 135 mg, in part due to
the rash debacle. It has been lowered
for three weeks now. I have six weeks
of treatment left.
The doctor is going to increase the dose back to 180 this week and see how I react. Although my rash was largely a severe reaction to the Incivek, he wanted to give my body a chance to clear the majority of the rash. We could not rule out the role that the ribavirin and the interferon may have played in my allergic reaction to treatment.
