Adverse Side Effects

by Lee, Sep 28, 1999 12:00AM
I have been using the combo therapy for 10 weeks now. Over the last 2-3 weeks I have benn experiencing shortness of breath whenever I exert myself just a little.  It seems to be getting worse.  Additionally, I've noticed a few red blotches on my chest.  Are these side effects typical or are they indicating some other problems?

I am on week 23...  the shortness of breath could be because of the anemia caused by the ribivirin....  just try to stay hydrated and contact your doctor
