What is the new treatment for hep c and liver cirohsis if the patient is not the right candidate for interferon.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
New medicines : Many newer medications in clinical trials have treated patients very successfully with interferon- free regimens treatment in clinical trials offers access to the medicines prior to general use, and several should be approved soon. Some are called proteases and nucleotides. Once they prove to work and not cause too many side effects, the fda will review and eventually approve for general use.
