Can a second round of shots get rid of Hepatitis C? |
Can a second round of shots get rid of Hepatitis C? A hepatitus shot would of prevented it...if you have it a sht won't gte rid of it The chemo therapy for Hepatitis C usually takes a year. It is not always successful. You need to be careful as this can lead to other problems. The Hepatitis shot is the prevent hepatatis it does not get rid of them I don't think this question has been answered properly by others. I think you are trying to ask can you retreat your Hepatitis C with a second round of interferon and ribavirin. Is that correct? If so the answer is yes. Usually if you fail one of the pegylated treatments you are then tried on the *other* pegylated treatment (by two different Pharmaceutical companies) There is also a third nonpegylated interferon that can be tried as well but is only FDA approved for nonresponders. Sorry to hear you were a nonresponder with your first try but I do know many people that have tried it again and been successful. Sometimes the doctors will do little *tweaks* increasing or decreasing a dosage or adding a third medication or extending the time that you are on treatment - sometimes up to 72 weeks. Good luck! ~~~~~~~~~~ PS - for the benefit of the one person who posted incorrect information - there is NOT a vaccine for Hepatitis C - only for Hepatitis A and B. |
