How successful is the treatment for hep c with peg interfuron?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Combination therapy: Peg-interferon is never used alone. It is combined with ribavirin, and often with one of the newer anti-hcv protease inhibitors. Cure rates are high when all 3 drugs are used, though 2 may be enough for people with some of the more treatable genotypes.
