A member asked:
Will i be able to drink alcohol while taking the medications ribavirin and peg intron (peginterferon alfa 2b)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Ribavirin must be used together with a Peg-Intron to treat chronic hepatitis C. Do not drink alcohol while taking ribavirin. Alcohol can increase the risk of damage to your liver. Hope it makes sense?
