Are there better medical cures for Hepatitis C than Ribavarin/Pegintron or analogues from other manufacturers?


I have the treatment for 12 months that did not work.

Unfortunately Ribavarin/pegintron is the best FDA approved generally available treatment. There are new treatments currently in research that are likely to be improvements over Ribavarin/Pegintron. These may be available to you as part of a research trial. The website "the body" has a great Q&A website about Hepatitis infection. The website is mostly about HIV and HIV/Hep C coinfection. I still think that you will find alot of useful information in their Hep C sections. Good luck, hope that this was helpful. Source(s): www.thebody.com
There is no cure for Hep C. There are treatments to deal with the symptons and prolong quality of life for those infected with it BUT there is NO cure. There is also no vaccine though there is for Hep A and Hep B.
Look into a Japanese tea- SST, or silymarin- usually in milk thistle, or Arbidol- a Russian herbal compound

That currently is the gold standard for treatment, but other treatments are on FDA fast track for approval. Vertex, Schering-Plough and other companies may have a new combo treatment using protease inhibitors along with lower doses of interferon on the market in 2007 or 2008. Here is a link to an article from BusinessWeek a couple of months ago about the Vertex drug: http://www.businessweek.com/investor/con...

Research so far shows that this experiemental treatment has better results, fewer side effects, and shorter treatment times than today's interferon combo with which you were treated.
I found some good info here.
