I myself wasn't as sick on the Infergen as I was on the peglyated interferon Re: New member Does Infergen have the same sides and is it taken with the Ribo?? I have an appointment next month with my liver docs at Cedars in Los Angeles and I am wondering if they will think that will be an option for me since I was a nonresponder and became very ill.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Interferon came first then pegylated interferon and now several other kinds one of which is Infergen . Infergen can be used daily or 3x a week . Re: New member Does Infergen have the same sides and is it taken with the Ribo??
