Any one out there who know if there is a new drug available for Hepatitis C? Infergen is not new. It has been around for many years. Used to be owned by Amgen, now Valeant has it. Right now it is only approved for nonresponders. Actually the FDA has approved it for 3 times a week but you can find progressive docs that will let you take it daily. There is a good article at Hepatitis Magazine at http://www.hepatitismag.org/storydetail.... . Dee took daily Infergen back in 2000 and is still clear! YEA DEE! The protease inhibitors are in 3rd round clinical trials but probably won't be available until 2009 and it is taken in addition to interferon and ribavirin for about 3 months and then you continue on with Interferon and Riba. If you go to http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/hep... you can read about all the meds that are in clinical trials. Source(s): http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/hep... http://www.hepatitismag.org/storydetail.... www.HEALSoftheSouth.com i think as of 2006, pegasys interferon and the riba pills,i was told at my doctors office that soon there would be a newer version that will destroy the virus cell by building a wall around the cell not allowing it to mutate ,good luck with it,thats some weird medication.some people dont have too many side effects some have them all,see the doctor often for blood work to monitor your lft's . and dont give up.i gave up and was in worse shape when all was done , my life is my source yes, it is called "infergon". it is a daily injection and with the combination of ribavirin the percentage rate of responders with this combo (who have failed the standard treatment interferon and ribavirin) have a 33% chance of responding verses that of 15%. if you responded well and dropped your viral log last time around, yet the virus shot back up at the 6 month mark, you might be an excellent canadate for infergon. good luck riss-hepatitis c objectives |
