HI Hahag, check with your local pharmacy, they will be able to tell you, you will also need to tell them about any other medications you take as well as the Pegasus. Hope your neck gets better soon. Best wishes, Maz

Here is the info

Additional Considerations

peginterferon alfa 2ain Pegasys

when used to treat HCV, caution advised w/ narrow therapeutic index drugs extensively metabolized in the liver; viral eradication may improve hepatic metabolic function, decr. levels, efficacy of concomitant drugs

So short version is to use caution in combining the two drugs as it may affect how your liver metabolizes medications. Definitely talk to you doc/pharmacist to understand this.

Do please be careful with the use of diazepam.

All of the benzodiazepines are addictive and should only be used for short periods of time. I have also used them occasionally, but only for very short durations. If you need a muscle relaxer for longer term use, perhaps something like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) would help.

All the best to you. Hope your neck feels better.
