Pegylated Interferon - Hepatitis Message Board

I was just wondering if anyone has tried pegylated interferon/Ribavirin treatment. From what I have read and just heard on CNN it has a 60% success rate and it's been approved by the FDA.

Samwise2-
This the same Samwise as Samwise1?.
The Pegylated Interferon/Ribavirin treatment is the Pegasys treatment we have been discussing, along with Peg-Intron.
These treatments were designed to be processed differently in the body, and also designed with the standard Interferon to be pegulated which lasts and works much longer in the body, both improvments greatly effect your responce outcome.

Yeah, I'm the same person. I lost my password and tried the "Forget Password?" function several times but there seems to be some thing wrong with it as it kept emailing me a password that doesnt work.

Ok, thanks for the info. Sorry to post something that has been discussed already.
