Interferon and PV-how long does it take effect?

[EleanorPV]

Hi, in 2016 I started interferon (Pegasys) this is a weekly injection. For me my platelets started reducing after 4 weeks. HB stopped increasing after 6 months. All my blood levels were controlled after a year. I've heard people taking as long as 2 years to find full control. Remember we are all different with our drug interactions. Interferon is a particular slow acting drug. Good luck with your treatment.
