What is the difference between pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a) & peg-intron?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Size of the molecule: Pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a) is larger size and comes in solution where as pegontron comes as powder that needs to be reconstituted with saline before administration. Efficacy wise, Pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a) may be marginally better.
