Has anybody had annemia from hepatitis c treatment,please relate?
I have not personally been treated with Pegylated IFN and Ribavirin, but anemia is common with Ribavirin treatment. It is the leading reason Ribavirin doses are decreased during treatment for Hepatitis C. Hopefully you doctor is comfortable using Epogen or Procrit to allow you to maintain the highest possible dose of Ribavirin during your therapy. Using "growth factors" or agents such as Epogen (or "epo") or Procrit to boost red blood cells and keeping the dose of Ribavirin as high as possible will increase the liklihood of clearing the virus and achieving an SVR.
Best wishes and good luck!
