Hepatitis C - The Long Goodbye
She endured two rounds of
interferon
and ribavirin treatment, requiring self injecting toxins, directly into her stomach. For a time after that, she seemed better. We all breathed a sigh of relief and prayed it was gone.

Hepatitis C treatment could halve HCV transmission among gay men in UK over 10 years
The model assumed that 80% of men treated within a year of infection (acute cases) and 35% of men in chronic infection would be cured on
interferon
-based treatment, and that 90% of all men treated with
interferon
-free direct-acting antiviral regimens would be cured.

Coffee and the Liver

interferon
and ribavirin therapy also yielded some surprising results.

Preparing for Hepatitis C Treatment: Part 1by Alan Franciscus
Back when
interferon
was first approved, the cure rates were about 10%. The list of just the most common side effects could take up an entire page. Now, we have medications that can cure 90 to 100% of patients who undergo therapy.

Interferon
alpha a (injectable daily) which I am very worried about. Does anyone have any experience of this?? And perhaps some happy tales? Thanks everyone I'm a newbe at this.

Iodine Excess as an Environmental Risk Factor for Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
Moreover, stimulation of double-stranded RNA (a typical DAMP) significantly increased the expression of
interferon
-responsive genes, cytokines and chemokines and suppressed thyroid functional gene expression in cultured human thyroid cells [100].

sovaldi and Harvoni..who gets treatment?
thought...it looks as if people that have been treated before and not cleared the hep c that have cirrhosis need a longer duration of 24 wks of treatment..looking at the guide lines i see they are not willing to fund this group of people..where does that leave people like me who are not able to take

Ruxolitinib for PV
Was it hard to get it in UK as I understand it is not yet approved, did you have to "fail" on Hydra and
Interferon
. I am looking at the possibility of trying to get on it for my PV, I am in Scotland

hi I'm totally new to this forum
(
Interferon
) My consultant says the side effects will wear off eventually, but some mornings the bone pain is terrible. My consultant recommended the MPD Voice site, I have found more answers to questions than I ever could have imagined.
