Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was in a study for low dose maintenance to see if it protected the liver from the effects of the virus. It was useless and didn't work. I am on Peg/Riba and they will add Boceprovir after my next visit. That will be next Tuesday.

I've heard that can happen, so Im just wanting to verify that you are saying that it got worse.. So if you treat again with Boceprovir, will that be used in place of the Ribavirin or in addition to it?

I would not do it again. I am in a study now with Peg/Riba and they will soon be adding the Boceprovir next week. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
