Treatment in Scotland.
I,ve had hepc since 1982 and been treated unsuccessfully once with
interferon
. I have tried unsuccessfully to research the harvoni treatment protocol in Scotland. Does anyone know if it is compulsory to have ribavarin along side it.

Moving to Interferon
My husband is about to switch to
interferon
from hydroxy. I see all the info here on side effects which is a worry as life has felt quite stable for the last couple of years. Does anyone have more positive experiences with
interferon
and not had such severe side effects?

Waving Hullo!
Prior to that, I could not take anything, as by the time they caught my illness, I already had acsites and was to sick for
interferon
. I am a Genome type 1 and much to my delight and happiness, after one month of taking the medication, my viral load is showing no signs of Hepatitis C.

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.

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.

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.
