Interferon 2a or Pegasys----how different are they regarding effect on the body and possible molecular remission?
Would there be any point in switching to
Pegasys
? I am hoping to have fewer side effects/less pain, so does anyone know if this is likely? How differently does
Pegasys
work compared with interferon 2a? How long does each stay in the body? Does anyone know, or can anyone ask someone who knows?

it's nearly been a year
I'm now on 180mg of
Pegasys
once a week and aspirin, and I am over the moon to say that my platelets are at the best levels they have ever been at approx 450... so nearly 'normal' my white blood cell counts and neutrophils are also looking good.

Interferon negative side effects personal research
Hi, I was wondering if anyone received any kind of treatment with Interferon lika INTRON A, Roferon A, Peginterferon,
Pegasys
....and so on? I was on INTRON A , and i had major side effects. This biological treatment was going on for a year and i lost 35 pounds during that period.

Anagrelide and interferon?
I started on
Pegasys
fairly recently but it isn't controlling my platelets on its own and so I have been taking hydroxycarbamide as well. This was a short term measure because I don't get on very well with the HU and I am due to discuss alternatives when I see my haematologist on Thursday.

The Beginning of Treatment 2006
My medication is
PEGASYS
* (interferon) and COPEGUS* (ribavirin) One needle a week and six pills a day. Other meds were Tylenol Ultra as needed for headaches; not more than four a day; mostly I needed two.

It Has Started!!!!
Anyway, Carla said that I may feel like I have the flu tonight around supper time or so, from the injection of
Pegasys
. Right now, I have absolutely no symptoms at all.

My First Side Effect
I was told that this may happen from the
Pegasys
injection. It is slightly red and it is a little itchy, but not much. Hopefully it won't get worse but I intend to call my nurse-practitioner, Carla, tomorrow and see if I can get some cream or lotion for it.
