Pegasys is metabolized by the liver; Peg Intron is metabolized by the kidney
Yes, it can be confusing for everyone. So much information floating around that isn't necessarily good information. I have, obviousley, been guilty of this myself.
The business about drinking water and fluids is not inaccurate. It is important to stay hydrated during treatment. But, and this is a big but, the needs of people differ depending on their size, dietary habits and other factors. An active male, for example, should drink more water than a small female. It serves also to deplete any extra iron in the body that males tend to accumulate. But too much can make your sytem go haywire.
A gallon a day is a stress on your urinary system and can deplete some very important metabolites in your body. This is not a general recommendation that should be followed. There is water in your food, too, that is used by your body as fluids. They count.
Sorry about that. I'll go fix the misstatement. Thanks for keeping me honest!
