I'm 54 years old and I have PV,discovered 7 years ago. Initially I was on interferon alpha one year , which I agreed very well but due high price, doc. switched on Hydrea until now. Now for 3-4 month I have possibility to use again interferon alpha. Has somebody made this changes? How have you affected by this?Your Opinions? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have switched from Hydrea to Interferon Peg in June after been on Hydrea over two and half years. I have ET and now I am doing well, so far so good. I take Interferon once a week and manage with paracetamol for side effects. Wishing you well.
