Anyone on Ropeginterferon (Besremi)?

Hi gang!

Wondering if anyone has switched from Pegasys (peginterferon) to Besremi (ropeginterferon)?

I’ve read that side effects, particularly fatigue, are less on Besremi so would be interested in giving it a go if that’s the case.

Thanks,

Sarah 🙂

Hi Sarah, I have been on Besremi for a few weeks and have no issues with fatigue or any other side effects to report, but it is early days and my dosage is gradually increasing.

Hi,

I don’t know where you are based but in Europe it is approx 2800 euros and in the UK £2500 per 250mcg syringe.
