Baseline VL 118,779 (Pegasys and 800 mg. Ribavirin) 4 week VL 95,359 (dismal results so I increased Riba at 5 1/2 weeks to 1000 mg.) 8 week VL 11, 700 (increased Riba at 8 1/2 weeks to 1200 mg.) 12 week VL 615 I realize there is little clinical data to suggest that higher dose Ribavirin benefits geno 3's.

This is a site that has some questions that you answer and then you can get list of programs that you qualify for based on the information you entered. I was on Pegasys and Co-Pegasys.i recieved assistance through Roche, they covered the entire cost of the meds. There is help you might get NO's BUT DO NOT STOP CALLING you can hopefully find some assistance.

My sister has gone through the treatment (53 weeks) of Pegasys and co-pegasys. She has been non-detectable since the 12 week viral load test. She has stopped the treatment on November 29, 2008 because of low blood work and that she had been taking epogen (60,000 units) per week. Now that she has stopped the pegasys and the co-pegasys she is experiencing severe muscle spasms in her back and left side. She had been anemic for nearly 6 months. Her muscles are now starting to swell in her hands.

My monthly co-pay was $45 for Incivek, $5 for Ribavirin, and $20 for Pegasys. I could probably have asked the drug companies for assistance and I probably would have received it, but I did not know much at that time and my treating team was no help. When I was first calling my ins. co. about coverage, I got about 10 different answers and none of them were the same, LOL.

FDA Hepatitis Update - Important information about alcohol prep pads packaged with Pegasys and certain other injection products Genentech has issued the following Dear Healthcare Professional letter for users of Pegasys and certain other other injection products: IMPORTANT DRUG WARNING IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION REGARDING ALCOHOL PREP PADS MANUFACTURED BY TRIAD CO-PACKAGED WITH GENENTECH PRODUCTS (Fuzeon® (enfuvirtide); Boniva® Injection (ibandronate sodium); Pegasys® (pegylated interfer

I would just like to add that I do not think you should cancel your RX insurance. In my opinion, any one of us who as an illness, especially a chronic illness, should not ever cancel or let lapse his/her insurance policy. It will be difficult for us to obtain affordable health ins. in the future so we need to keep the policies we have. (Your med co-pays, mainly the co-pay for Incivek, don't seem very affordable to me, but still, one would probably be worse off without the insurance.

I'm currently taking pegasys injection, ribaviron, and incivek (the triple treatment) and am also taking subutex not suboxone. I need to know ASAP if this is okay to take can anyone please give me some basic info or an answer?

With Incivik it was over $1000 (2 months). I applied to co-pay relief and was awarded $3000. By the way the pharmacy found a few coupons (1st month $450) and then was eligible in the new year 2012 for coupons and paid $450 again this month. Six month treament and I paid out 1400 or $230/month. Still high but thank God for the Co-Pay relief, as my household income is a little high. To anyone: I would investigate the various co-pay support programs out there.

So Im set to start treatment at the beginning of November, but I have a co-payment of $800 a month and I cannot afford that. Im attending the pegasys class and I will be asking for more information and resources to pay for the medication. Do you know any other resources that there might be for help with treatment costs?

I have a high co-pay and my initial meds (Interferon & Rib) are enough of a financial burden. Now that my Hgb is down to 9.1 (9.8 last month) the Dr may put me on Epogen to get my level back up. BUT this may end up costing me $300-400/month more due to my high co-pay. Does anyone have suggestions on financial medical help for the Epo? My Dr may Rx the Epo over Procrit since Procrit had their recent recall. Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Ribavirin is now available in generic and is much more reasonable than co-pegasys or the Schering version. Then like nygirl said, you may need other medicines that are pricey if your blood counts tank. And then there are the hidden costs of lotions that cannot be ignored. I spent a fortune on lotions for rashes and dryness. In addition, the drug programs have programs, if you qualify, to help with meds.

As I understand it the body has natural interferon and you add extra to amp up the immune system further, forming extra killer t-cells to kill the virus. The co-drug, ribivirin, works as an adjuvant (increases the activity of the interferon), but has no effect on it's own. You need them both. I once looked the 2 drugs up online and when I added them up for 48 weeks of treatment, it came to $27,000 total, but can't recall the interferon figure, maybe it was $150 per shot.

Aenta only wants to cover 65% of Pegintron Ready Pin, leaving me with a $763.00 monthly co-pay. For 6 months, that’s almost $4600 out of pocket! That's insane considering there is no guarantee that it will work. The pharmacist referred me to www.copays.org (Co-pay relieve Foundation) I understand you have to submit your application at the beginning of each month, before all the grant money runs out. Has anyone received help from this non-profit before?

So what you're asking is if a person who starts off with a low hemoglobin needs a lower dose of Ribavirin even if they're heavy. That would be nice but it's not how it works. The experts decided that since Genotype 2 and 3 were easier to kill than genotype 1, they only needed 800mg of Ribavirin.

Hi Dear I will start my treatment pegasys on jan/09/09 and just would like to ask you how prepear should I be for it?

my insurance does not cover the interferon at all. the co payment for the pills are 94.60 per month. i'm not going to be able to swing this without help. jeez, it's more than my rent.

I got two letters today, one saying that I am denied Peg-Intron beacuse I did not try pegasys. And the second said I was denied Ribaviron because that is only approved for people with hep C using peg-intron or pegasys with geno 2 or 3. HELLO INSURANCE CO....I'm HCV and geno 3!!!! SOOOO FRUSTRATING! Sorry, needed to vent. Any advice would be great! Thanks!
